[4] In a notable interview with Francesca Pietropaolo for Art in America, Trouvé recounts speaking with griots, West African oral historians, who visited her home and inspired her to imagine alternative dimensions.

Through the creation of these architectural modules, Trouvé constructed an administrative space to house her creative efforts as well as her clerical attempts to adherence to the red-tape of the art world.

These large-scale maquettes take the form of deserted workplaces, recording studios, or unoccupied desks, often viewable from windows or mirrors preventing physical accessibility to the space.

A stone cushion bearing the imprint or weight of a human body, a book placed on the back of a chair, a bag hanging on a rail, and other small objects scattered throughout weave a discreet narrative and create a fictional world of speculations for viewers to ponder.

Composed of around a dozen works, the Collages features beautifully rendered industrial architectural spaces such as gymnasiums, factories and offices, filled with man-made objects acting as protagonists within the constructed stage.

[13] Composed of industrial and domestic objects and lacking a true interior or exterior, the drawings exist within the fringe of reality and time, leaving the viewer to oscillate between grounded renderings and disorienting picture planes.

[8] This series consists of 20 drawings on black paper using a variety of materials and methods to abrase the surface including burn marks, fabric, plastic and more.

[13]Remanence remains consistent with the liminal nature found in Intranquillity but paired against a black background evoking the dead of night, a time when familiar spaces may feel unfamiliar.

[1] In Les dessouvenus, colored paper is eroded with bleach, with the stain’s structure informing the resulting drawings featuring architectural and environmental scenes.

[7] Speaking to the temporal nature of the works, in some drawings the bleach appears akin to a puff of smoke or a cloud, locked in a moment where the scene emerges before it will be blown away.
