About The Artwork

Handcut collage on vintage photo white matting black wooden frame dimensions are framed dimensions I grew up and spent most of my life in France. Since moving to the U.S, I began to collect vintage cabinet photos and old illustration books from flea markets. If the photo establishes a connection with me, I take it. I choose the pieces carefully paying attention to the scale, the shape and the color before putting everything together. The multilayered works of collage never shows a complete and fine representation and let arise the feeling of fragility. Through these, I seek to catch the subtle alteration of my identity since living abroad. My process becomes an appropriation of these photos/objects by covering, hiding, assembling, and dissembling. The collage process allows me to make these photos mine and thus reveal a new meaning in the manner of a palimpsest. Using different Medias opens a new perspective of my identity by simultaneously confronting collective memories and my individual consciousness.

I grew up and spent most of my life in France. Since moving to the U.S, I found myself loving to wander around flea markets. In fact, this is how I began to buy vintage cabinet photos and old illustration books. I’m very sensitive to the expression, the shape of the face, the body position and if the photo is damaged by time. If the photo establishes a connection with me, I take it. Often, my collages are the vehicle of eye experiments in body modification. Making traditional handmade collages is weirdly to me closed to our modern science, closed a laboratory genetic manipulation. I scalp and paste together anatomic pieces to create exquisite corpses. The scalpel cut pieces cover the image and thus reveal a new meaning at the manner of a palimpsest. Covering, hiding, assembling the pieces create new combinations. The collage breaks our vision of a known body. The making of these grotesque hybrids open new possibilities. When collage usually reduces the image to a layered pasted image, here the collage seems to aim to create a new world concealing art, anatomy and poetry.
