In the 1980s, the artist realized monumental paintings using pins, which she used to pierce large surfaces, often reaching for her favorite format of vertical compositions measuring 300 x 150 cm. Large surfaces studded with thousands of pins bear traces of hours, days, weeks and even months spent by the artist piercing the canvas. On huge sheets with a thicket of rhythmically shining pins, she continued the incessant process of recording emotions. By sticking hundreds of thousands of pins into the surfaces of paper, canvas, sheet metal or photographs, the artist combined methodical repetition with the expression of the gesture of piercing various materials.
