Over 10 years of her career, one of the major themes to have marked Despont’s work is her spiritual curiosity. It would be reductive to speak of Despont’s art as being characterised by her use of ledger pages. Works such as Green House and Fort, in which the scribblings of past owners remain faintly visible, become additionally intriguing for this reason. The book pages offer total compositional freedom because I can add or remove pages at any point in the process of a drawing.
