Berthon-Moine uses the body as a playground to toy with gender identity and sexuality. Although her drawings are abstract, a strong bodily imagery emerges with flowery genitals, leaky breast, hairy bits and pulsating tendrils. The drawings can be humorous, sad, crude or tender and they reflect lived experiences through bodily sensations.

A more figurative aspect emerges with the development of characters who are often drawn after responding to political and societal events. LaLi, a contraction of the slogan ‘Lack it, Like it’, is one of them. She is a female character with attitude: standing up, hands on hips, tits pointing proudly like defensive elephant tusks, she spreads her legs wide, pees standing up and likes to have a good time.

Ingrid’s watercolours find a resonance with her sculptural work. Paintings and sculptures offer an ongoing conversation as the 2D and 3D works speak a same language of shapes and colours but the later offers veiny, bumpy and tactile materials reminiscent of the human body. They often speak about detumescence as Berthon-Moine’s aim is to deflate the phallus. Long way to go.
