Discovering Print

My work results from a fortuitous but personal assembly of media : drippings, stencil patterns, sprayings, sponge printings and inclusion of materials and textiles ...   I use graphic resources stemming from totally or partially unwoven jute canvas, closely watching the effects on the textile when it is tautened or on the contrary gently slackened, or when its threads are brutally severed. I exploit then all the asperities, cavities, and outcrops of the prepared wefts and textures. I exploit the evocative power of this material, with the themes of the bond and the roots and the knot pattern. As a result, I sometimes let the jute canvas and threads follow their own natural expression. Thus, they often surprisingly restore gestures and dances. They may also simulate a proliferation of vegetal invasion, or suggest the waveform that wind or water flow would print if they were exposed to them. My very last works are inspired by air views, without any sign of human presence.
