FALLING APART by Jacqueline SvedaThe portraits from this series are fragmented and at times multilayered; in "suspension" holding together through a network of lines or "spaces" real or imaginary.
This way Jacqueline connects them with each other and with the world, but at the same time detaches them from their immediate environment.
Jacqueline works depicts the nowadays person fragmented in his/her feelings and thoughts "stencilised or cartoonsized"; in other words devaluated. He/she at times seems two-dimensional like an advertisement product: a poster, a cutout cardboard, a jigsaw puzzle.
In its treatment of the lines and spaces Jacqueline's work is strongly influenced by native art. Through a network of negative spaces the fragmented portraits and landscapes become linked with space. This way, at times, the landscape is set into motion (drifting, tumbling, bursting). Both landscapes and portraits from this series are also often scarred by human or natural elements.
