About
Juliette Losq's work describes the borderlands at the edge of human habitation. Reclaimed by nature, these regions become spaces of speculation on what might have gone on before and what may be occurring out of sight. Losq makes paper landscapes inspired by historical optical devices such as the paper peepshow. These form the basis of drawings, paintings and installations. Though based on real sites, these landscapes become fictional through their construction, creating a partially imagined, partially ‘real’ space that can transport the viewer conceptually from one place to another. Losq experiments with complexity and scale. Installations explore the possibilities of physically immersing the viewer in drawn imagery, thereby enabling them to experience the sensation of being in the mutable and fractured spaces represented.
