Grace Weaver spends July to September 2022 in Morocco. She is not only curious to retrace what Matisse, Bacon und Beckett experienced but also to explore the expected foreign influences on her artistic work. A series of 105 collages arises from this journey, created during all stages of the trip and drawn only with scissors.
The collages present women, each both on her own and interwoven with her ornamental surroundings. Traditional Moroccan patterns and ornaments blend with Western brand names and logos, Arabic writing clashes with colonial French and English. The scissors, in turn, transform everything into ornament.
The lavishly designed book presents the collages as elaborate facsimiles and is completed by Eric Degenhardt's travel photographs.
