Memory of strata, parietal
Since 2020
In my work, I blur the boundaries between the vegetal, the mineral, and the organic, and explore themes of memory, vestiges, ruins, fragments as well as the act of repair and grafting.
I explore the healing capacity of the relationship between human and non-human living beings, inhabited places, and natural spaces.
Sculpted paintings inspired by the cave period explore the link between humans and their environment, and how natural phenomena shape our surroundings over time.
These mineral works speak of stratification, layers of earth, and the space of the cave as a primitive shelter. They reveal the power and meditative dimension of mountain landscapes, isolated places and virgin natural areas.
By folding, twisting, and covering the grid with successive layers of recycled paper, mortar and pigments, I create volumes like living organisms, landscapes with geological formations and cavernous bodies. I transform the flat surface of the canvas to adapt it to my perception of the landscape, to a plastic expression made of hollows, reliefs, successive planes and roughness, like the inside of caves where the painted wall is dark, textured, marked by asperities, drips and the imprint of time on the rock.
My production process echoes the way in which the land is built up through the accumulation and covering of materials.
Relationship between built & organic matter
My process of creating through layers of thoughts and materials suggests the passage of time, the fictional or real history of places, and the strata that have shaped them. I explore the relationship between built environments and organic matter.
Our world needs to connect with this density, this thickness, such as that of a rock wall, because we live and act guided by images that scroll by on screens without depth.
