The thickness of silence by Fabienne Francotte are a series of disembodied lips that appear half open or half closed, as if caught in a gasp, between phrases of whispering quietly into the viewer’s ear. Using embroidery to create her unfinished lips. Fabienne meditatively engages with the back and forth tugging movement with her body. This dialogue between artists and material is integral to her process, as she probes and contemplates how we as a society speak about individual wounds, hidden traumas and pervasive power structures in our communities.
