Elsbeth Ciesluk's work often contains enigmatic texts that occur to the artist in the silence of a calm night, or during the repetitive process of working on her woodcuts. She uses these texts as stand-alone typographic images, but also incorporates some of the words alongside geometric shapes into layered, horizontal compositions. The latter are in turn reminiscent of the structure in dance and musical notation for a choreography or partiture.
'Je te me te pleur' is a kind of fantasy French that is embedded in a tapestry pattern with triangular and square forms that also contains mice and cats. De woodcut is printed on silk, the fabric hangs from a small wooden bar slightly detached from the wall.
