Frottages, charcoal on paper.Sculptures made of pine resin.
Casts and rubbings of scarring on pine trees after resin tapping (carried out in the first half of the 20th century). Over the centuries, resin has played a central role in the global economy, notably as tar for the colonial shipping industry in the 17th and 18th centuries. The scars from the tapping remain for the rest of the tree’s life. The title alludes to the autoimmune diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), which means multiple scars. The GPS coordinates indicate the position of the pines from which the casts and rubbings were made.
