Memory in the Skin
Over twenty-five years, Myriam Mihindou has constructed a singular and equivocal body of work affirming the therapeutic role of art. Therapeutic rituals are indeed central to her artistic approach, as the organic materials that she uses testify. These materials (paraffin, cotton, kaolin, tea, wax, and others) — associated with purification and healing — serve as vectors of energy and tension to reveal the spiritual and sensorial substance of the body.
