ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When embroidering, I connect with my intimate emotions, and translate into stitches, lines, shapes and textures. Threads and the needle are my drawing tools. Before starting embroidering, I usually draw a single line structure, with no intention, the emotions guiding my pen on the fabric. Then I stitch, exploring and balancing between filling the shapes and emptiness. This process is called "intuitive stitching". My study pieces are part of a stitches grammar I use for further embroidery artworks. My monochromatic embroidered artwork is an invitation to connect to inner feelings, to meditation. _ The Study piece n°10 is made of black cotton threads, stitched on off white thick cotton fabric. This 11W x 14H cm abstract embroidery is pasted on 20 x 20 cm thick watercolour paper, and comes with a white wooden frame, ready to be hung on your wall. The frame is 1,5cm wide on each side. (Please consider the glass has been removed for the shooting).

Working with textile during the past twenty years enabled me to improve the skills I had been taught during my childhood. I have graduated from a fashion design school in Paris, and then worked as a fashion design assistant for a couple of years in womenswear luxury houses. I launched my own high-end costume jewelry label in 2011 after moving to Marseilles, South of France. I both designed and handmade collections based on textile manipulations until 2020. In 2021 I chose to work from now on as a textile artist. My studio is settled in a former Convent, turned into an artists workplace. My work focuses on interiority. We live surrounded by new technologies, and become over-exposed to information. Our urban ways of life give very little space to one’s interiority. What if we just stop, take time, and reconnect to our own emotions? Would artworks help allowing oneself a moment of interiority, and spreading out our imagination? What if cultivating e connection to oneself made it possible to live in better connection with the world? I love textile! I consider it as a vector of transmission, know-how and stories. I see textile as a metaphor of our bonds to other human beings: fragile, ephemeral, yet precious. I explore the infinite potential of my favorite material; and often diverts its techniques. I deviate from the codes of perfection in craftsmanship, in favor of expression. I work from intuition, with very little prior drawing, from emotions and life stories. I hand embroider abstract, subtle wall artworks, from small to large scale, in mineral tones, using simple and natural materials: cotton threads and mostly cotton or linen fabric. The repetition of the slow, meticulous gestures of embroidery leads me into a state close to meditation. I favor abstraction, because it abandons the representation of reality, keeping only the essence and the emotion, freeing the imagination. This process gives birth to artworks that I name “emotional landscapes”. Human relationships are ones of the foundations of my work. This is why I love creating art pieces in relation with someone’s story.
