Ce que disent mes mains 3 concludes a trilogy in which Kathleen Roby explores the expressive power of pure gesture. Created without tools, solely with her hands, the work reveals a living material shaped by the direct contact between the artist's fingers and the color.
Moroccan pigments, mixed with water and medium, unfold shades of ochre, red, and white with intense variations, preserved in their authenticity to enhance the contrasts. The surface, enriched with marble dust, plaster, and collage elements, creates a textured terrain where liquids move freely according to the reliefs and furrows. Fingerprints, traces of rubbing, asemic writing, and splashes become the witnesses to an intimate dialogue between matter and gesture.
In this final piece of the series Ce que disent mes mains, Kathleen Roby unfolds a sensitive narrative where each layer, each transparency, each mark carries the memory of movement. The work celebrates the instinctive and tactile relationship between the hand and color, the heart of this abstract trilogy.
