Gommages

We are proudly presenting Gommages, a solo exhibition by Lore Smolders.

From an interest in healing strategies, Smolders applies her own systems based on foot reflexology, among others, and works around topics such as digestion, miscommunication and taboo. “The solution is not always where the problem is,” she says. Can we think of emotions as something structural rather than merely individual feelings?


To gommage is to erase something while allowing something to emerge. Who determines when something has failed, and how can one recover from it? When dead skin is loosened, a new drawing can emerge.
