Saint Fabiola




Ever since I heard about Francis Alys's collection of Fabiola paintings I have wanted my own. This project interests me as the project was such a simple idea which has grown to the point where it seems to have taken on a life of its own. So today while donating the left overs of my garage sale to an op-shop I noticed a her on the wall, unfortunately its a print of the original Henner painting unlike the Alys collection which is all hand rendered recreations. This is a great little article by Lynne Cooke which is about Fabiola and Alys LINK. I really enjoy this interview with Francis Alys about his art and practise LINK.
