THE ITINERARY
In the beginning, woven tapestries rapidly escaped the loom
to become large volumes, shells, human nests made of plant fibers.
First turning point with the discovery of minitextiles, architecture,
architexture, the Zen spirit, cotton fiber, bamboo.
Brief detour via knots with graphics and color on cotton.
Then the home stretch: Figurative !
Gatherings of figures made of resin and marble powder, still with simple
forms, still white, with stories left to the imagination…
At the finish line, today, the figures have taken to the air thanks to
reinforcing steel (!). They play with space, the wind, and intrigue us
with their unspoken stories.
