Stone was what brought France HOGUE to mosaic, the stone on which she was born, played and grew up. This element that Brittany lies upon, whose rocks break up the waves, resounding through the seas, producing foam; this symbol of durability and solidity that only reveals its true nature when worked by a strong hand.
Colouring and transforming the appearance of the mortar, bringing it to life, making it sensitive to light, shaping its surface, creating space, playing with the balance of mass and material, recalling that mosaic still exists. Freed from a technical foundation that she dominates admirably, France HOGUE offers truly creative work, where control depends on its non-representation.
She signs all her work on the edge in the mortar.
