To create this work, I was inspired by a famous photograph which represents a group of village women - Chipko Movement - from India, who opposed the commercial exploitation of their forests. The movement is best known for its tactic of sticking to trees, wrapping their arms around them to prevent them from being cut or sawed. I create a metamorphosis : Women and plants merge to defend a common cause against domination. This series' name is "LES BELLES PLANTES". This work is unique, even if I use linocut. The paper is previously covered with a print made using ink and textile (lace and embroidered tablecloths) Framed (white background), white wooden strip, anti-reflective museum quality glass. Frame: 66.5 x 56.5 cm

In my practice, I question the imagination, myths and history that feed my inspiration and create links with reality by producing graphic and pictorial "spaces" with paint. Both chaotic and organized microcosms, these "landscapes" express themselves in multitude and profusion. Water and Color are two mediums I use for seeing better and representing the world. Then I draw, I intertwine threads, I connect the elements to evoke one of the oldest activities of humanity, weaving, whose symbolic value is founding for our societies. I also practice engraving, photography, video and installation. Currently, my work has its roots in the myth of Arachne taken from the Metamorphoses of the poet Ovid. A feminine myth from which I draw the threads to weave them today under the light of our contemporary world, I question the means of expression of women and more particularly of women artists. This project is very large and will require me several months of research and work in different forms. Eventually, I would like to expose it in its entirety.
