About The Artwork

This Paperwall series began with the discovery of original plans. They are the root, the basis of these compositions. At the start of the creation process, these plans are an imprint, a phantom form. I use the wallpaper. I choose it from papers found in flea markets, dated papers. My memory of the place directs this choice. The paper plays a graphic and memorial role. Then I tear it up, controlling using the art of the palimpsest, then I refer to the Kintsugi by sublimating the tear either in bright color or with gold thread embroidery. A duality sets in: wanting to show and wanting to hide. This work is presented on linen canvas mounted on a frame. This mixed media uses printed paper, wallpaper, acrylic paint, and gold embroidery thread.

I work in series, and for each I make graphic choices and adopt an adapted writing. After working on an Identity series, since 2015, I also work on the archive, memory, disappearance. I use the documents left by my grandparents and my parents. So my work, like my identity as granddaughter and daughter, brings to life the traces of their passages. It also brings me back to my own finitude. There is a moment, that of the loss of his two parents, when it is feared that the days after will pass too quickly. Christian Boltanski said in an interview with Etienne Hatt « La mort des parents est une grande coupure dans la vie, car la mort devient plus proche ………Au bout de trois générations on a totalement disparu ». (Les grands entretiens d’artpress Christian Boltanski, Imec Editeur 2014, pages 60 et 61 )
