The edition
“Le compas de la patronne” is made of ceramics and jeans stretched over wood. Its French title plays on the double meaning of “patron”: boss, but also stencil, model, or the drawing for cutting a garment. The compass, for its part, refers to a large series of works by the artist exploring the principles of orientation and gravity. This piece concentrates several of the themes characteristic of Katinka Bock's work, especially an attention to the motif of skin, to the relationship our bodies have with fabrics and other ordinary materials, to the precarious equilibrium of our lives.
