FABRIQ

'Aves Feminae' artist Pascale Queval uses mixed media and foraged materials to create imaginary worlds: Setting the scene is a painted paravent built from recycled wood and stretched with hand-woven antique sheets. An illuminated nest constructed from vines fills the space. In the nest sit Barbie dolls transformed into Aves Feminae using tissue paper, cardboard and acrylic paint, their markings inspired by the Woodpecker and Hoopoe. In the window a Barbie-based Aves Feminae specimen is on display in a handmade, Victorian-style case. By using a variety of media, Queval gives the viewer many entrypoints into this rich, multidimensional world.
