Michelle was adopted in Buenos Aires in 1973, just before the advent of the “Dirty War”. No birth certificate or hospital records exist documenting Michelle’s birth. Her mother’s name was falsified-she does not exist on paper. The images in this series are taken from the “Wall of Memory”, a memoir of photos of 800 of the “Disappeared”. During the period from 1968-1986, approximately 30,000 Argentine citizens were systematically Disappeared. In this regime of fear, photos, books, letters, address books, etc, were often buried or burned, so as to produce no paper trail to others, or “evidence” to be used against the individual. Thus, many of the victims of this regime exist only as memories. The images in these paintings reflect the various decomposing states of these remaining photos. Each is inspired from individual photographs, but represents a montage of faces, rather than any one person. Like memories, they fade, become obscured, clouded, or break down over time. In essence, these are paintings of ghosts. These paintings are oil paint over encaustic (melted beeswax and resin) on rusted 18″ x 24″ industrial baking sheets, which are subsequently sunk in resin. The use of snakeskin in some of the pieces references an attempt to trace a life that once was , piecing together incomplete fragments and remaining physical clues. They also mimic the pixelation in the downloaded photos from the “Wall of Memory”. Some photos are so damaged or badly reproduced that they are almost abstract- offering little or no information about the person they seek to represent. Using this method, I created 18 possible mother’s for Michelle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683042026329-8MS3AHVAROMJF4V7IC0U/defranceaux-possible_mother-1.jpg Possible Mothers from Argentina - The Possible Mothers Series These paintings are part of a body of work tracing the search for the identity of the birth mother of my close friend, Michelle Morby.

I was staying at her house on October 9th, 2013, the night my partner found our beloved daughter Emily Brewer dead. Monica followed on October 17th. The show, “What Tethers Us?”, was held on October 17th, Monica's day, and I brought together 18 artists from the community, with musicians (a marching band Monica was once a part of), a couture collection, a performance group, individual acts, and sound healers. It was a confirmation of life and connectedness in response to despair. Creating this work was the most profound artistic experience of my life.

She no longer feels capable of fighting her demons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043520707-J02WOTY28KPPAQTPYR6G/1a.+Surrender-detail.jpg Deep Water Series - "Surrender, detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043524664-834V91CZHBZYR00U96Y0/2.+Going-Under.jpg Deep Water Series - “Going Under” As self doubt and insecurities take over, she drowns in the words “never good enough.” She is no longer struggling, and we catch her gaze as she sinks. The distortion in the image alludes to her view being so clouded; she can no longer see herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043528570-M87STPOD4KPBRFH5PFI8/3.+Release.jpg Deep Water Series - “Release” We have lost our girl and now must let her move to the next plane in peace. The empty bird’s nest is obvious symbolism, but this piece also includes locks of Emily’s hair and cut flowers from her altar that miraculously did not die for three full months. The frame is 150 coyote bones which represent an animal who often cries alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043532009-T9346JI6326D8T2UO3ON/3a.+Release-detail.jpg Deep Water Series - "Release", detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043542536-2GSRZ7N97CUGFF4Z7SV7/4.+Interior-Struggles.jpg Deep Water Series - “Interior Struggles” This is the first piece of the second triptych. She seems to be drowning in her own fears but actually faces them. The real human teeth falling out of her mouth is a recurring nightmare I’ve had which represents loss of control. The bottom of the painting conjures her deepest, darkest fears. She almost tumbles headlong into the abyss, her bound arms exclaiming helplessness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043547160-8ENJ8IQKZMZ2UI01H26Y/4a.+Interior-Struggles-detail.jpg Deep Water Series - “Interior Struggles”, detail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043551979-GQZ2RAR28JIRSOCYVK0J/5.+Turning-Point.jpg Deep Water Series - “Turning Point” Our heroine experiences a 180 degree turning point and begins to see light at the end of her tunnel. She sheds her old self doubt, in the form of a snake skin (actually shed from Emily’s pet snake). The year of their suicides was also the Chinese Year of the Black Water Snake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043557334-WFSHGW7WYF7Q22XGXDPM/6.+Hope.jpg Deep Water Series - “Hope” This is the final piece and represents an ascension into the light. Uplifting feelings of hope and possibility rise like pearls to the surface of the brightening water. She is transformed by facing her demons and refusing to give in. She is weightless and joyful, engaging new horizons and embracing her future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1683043561432-GQ5CMTFZH5HMT58V48R2/6a.+Hope-detail.jpg Deep Water Series - "Hope", detail. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/62f8096278af520148b6d484/6451349a8d5623215760a31b/6480f2798570514065fef24c/1686172285685/ Deep Water Series https://static1.squarespace.com/static/62f8096278af520148b6d484/6451349a8d5623215760a31b/6480f50ad784cf6ffa210d27/1686172977715/ Deep Water Series https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/madame-vice-president-kamala-harris daily 1.0 2025-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276244860-BFYH6RO8R0VO84KSPUA0/IMG_9807.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276244860-BFYH6RO8R0VO84KSPUA0/IMG_9807.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276245956-245NOQVOZL6FHHPIAAA8/IMG_9803.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276269117-H7EHER1ZPQC4DVEMLE57/IMG_9730.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276270473-5Y4R02D532OY1KW5SZU4/IMG_9728.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734276282933-CJ5VAHL0TRM1NP4MJW5F/IMG_9729.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734222183630-BL05AC3RFPRD57EKU8IR/IMG_9752.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734222124924-RYESP21ORX4832NBZNMX/image-asset.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) - Campaigning for Harris Photo in the San Francisco Standard of Artist Deidre DeFranceaux campaigning for Kamala Harris in front of San Francisco City Hall on Election Day, 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/1734221957334-OMOX1U0HB2JJKMS3T6CU/image-asset.jpeg Madame Vice President (Kamala Harris) - Kamala in LA Madame Vice President traveled California campaigning and inspiring the public. https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/7f5ad6ba-c64a-4cdc-ad42-cb44a287d5b2/DEIRDRE+IN+A+CROWN.jpg About https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-08-13 https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/pagecv daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/artist-statement daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://www.deidredefranceauxpaintings.com/the-butterfly-effect-greta-thunburg daily 0.75 2024-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f8096278af520148b6d484/f5a15baf-1de2-400b-b3a4-c485089d2fa0/IMG_2010.jpg The Butterfly Effect (Greta Thunberg) - Make it stand out This piece is a tribute to Greta Thunberg, a young girl whose visionary Climate Strike at the age of 15 led to a worldwide Climate Movement. She is surrounded by, and connected to, the lifecycles of the Milkweed Plant and the Monarch Butterfly, both endangered species. The broken mirror fragments reflect one’s own image back at the viewer, asking “What ( small thing ) am I doing to harm or heal earth’s fragile ecosystem ?” The mirror shards appear to scatter like seeds on the wing, spreading this message out into the world. The butterfly that flies free of the piece carries these shards as a symbolic gesture of hope for humanity and raising awareness of our deep connection to all of nature.
