Abstract (English)

""Lure" comprises two large-scale patterned installations. Both continue Thib's exploration of ornamental design, and her use of reference material from the decorative and fine arts, science and natural history. Historical pattern designs present a controlled, symmetrical, repetitive stylization of nature, intended to adorn surfaces, to fill the empty spaces, to comfort, they transform "wilderness" into palatable decoration. In Thib's work, the ordering impulse exemplified by these designs is thwarted. " -- page 1.
