From gesture to ink…<\/strong>
\nI graduated from the Olivier de Serre School of Art in 1981 in the Textile Design section, then followed the path of calligraphy to become a visual artist using materials.<\/p>\n

From ink to paper…<\/strong>
\nIn 2008, I intuitively felt the need to return to the question of the medium, and to explore it as a fundamental and more personal source of expression. So I learnt the Japanese technique of making sheets of paper, using Kozo (Japanese mulberry) fibre in particular.<\/p>\n

For me, the “leaf” became a field of experimentation and encounters with life at its most creative. I find in it the ever-renewed promise of a territory of possibilities where imagination and creation can express themselves.<\/p>\n

From leaf to lace…<\/strong>
\nIn 2021, I’m broadening my field of exploration by making my colours from plants. I also make my paper from local plants and tree leaves from which I extract the cellulose to retain only the structure, the essence.<\/p>\n

In this way, my fingers create a lacework of plants, in which the shape of the tree leaf as an ornamental motif fades away to reveal its simple vibratory dimension and all its vivacity. Plants hold up a mirror to my senses.
\nThe intimate relationship that develops with each encounter with it improvises a ‘dance’ between its breath and my inner movements.<\/p>\n

My works take shape, in large formats or in volume, creating spaces where fibres meet and play with light. Suspended works, posed works, manipulated works, it’s a physical dialogue that takes place with the material from production to exhibition.<\/p>\n

In 2014: 1st Prize in the competition of the 8th International Paper Triennial in Switzerland with: \u201d Comme s\u2019il en pleuvait! \u201d.
\nIn 2020: 1st Prize for creation awarded by the Ateliers d’Art de France for the Bourgogne Franche-Comt\u00e9 region with: \u201d Tree of Life N\u00b02 \u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>
