detail from Belle de Jour/ Beauty of the day Painting

I work by passages, transfers, mirror games, mise en abime or transmission, a rite which continues. This work could correspond to the time of wait, produced by a body in transit which finds itself in a temporary space and tries to occupy it and oneself, in order not to be invaded by the void. This work may be finalized by a new scenography of the space, a new story: installations, soundtracks, lighting, objects, performances or tableaux vivants. I always keep the traces of my activities: photos and preparatory drawings - clues to these multiple stories, which I could develop in a space. Sometimes, these notes of intention become the only tracks of the elaborations. I undertake repetitive, obsessional activities such as embroidery, sewing, intimate diaries. Whilst seemingly referring to at first sight harmless feminine archetypes, these activities reveal a tension, unease, a breach.
