Bénédicte  Blanc-Fontenille

Floating Horizontals are  paintings floating on the surface of water or swimming underwater, following the movement of this one.

The paintings (in the shapes of water lilies or leaves) are worked with encaustic, thus becoming impermeable. Some are embroidered with random lines and dots.

I take photos of those paintings in different environments. Then, printed on metal, they create an installation on a wall, keeping the same idea of installation as on the water.
