Art has the voice to highlight the range and expansiveness of hardship. It is around the thematic of the unspoken and the invisible that Fabienne centres this exhibition. Populated with portraits, installation drawings and anatomical sculptures, she presents a framework by which the audience can access an insightful perspective on a complex topic. Nature Morte means 'still life' in French, Fabienne's native language; in the artistic tradition of still life imagery, stillness takes on the appearance of something unmoving and silent. However, in working with vulnerable, that which is silent and suppressed often rises to the surface to face itself when given a chance. These opportunities for release were evident in her drawing sessions at the Institute of Mental Health in Angoda, Colombo, where Fabienne would visit patients twice a week over two years. The patients suffered from a range of abuse: physical, sexual, verbal, psychological and cultural. Often, the stigma associated with these topics is an unspoken language in and of itself. However, in Fabienne's experience, the primacy of making art transcends language boundaries: a non-verbal relationship would often establish itself without a shared spoken tongue. Her instinct for understanding the vulnerability of human beings propels her to examine the patterns of behaviour that enable the universal experience of suffering.
