My compositions are functional while carrying narratives. Through the use of "appliqué", quilting, embroidery or tapestry, I recreate a world strewn with clues and traces, symbols, sometimes logos and references drawn from the popular imagination and from my own memories. +For several years now, I have been developing a body of work based around textiles, seizing on this traditional, popular, classic and functional material and revisiting it, in particular by working in a frontal, massive and imposing way, in contrast to the meticulousness and introversion associated with traditional textile practices. -It’s very instinctive for me to work with bright, vibrant and bold colours which create contrasts directly. Moreover, working most of the time with primary colors, it must come from the fascination I have for heraldic, flags and identity symbols. In general, my installations assembles and recomposes observations, memories and fascinations coming from the space I exhibit, from my environment and my own history. The thing I like the most is when an object has to be activated to exist, when it depends on that. A car cover without the car is an obsolete object. \ No newline at end of file +The content of my work is also intended to contribute to a manifesto of "seeing differently". My work uses sewing, appliqué, tapestry and embroidery techniques to superimpose figurative and non-figurative referential forms, or not. Drawn from observations and limited to the use of primary colours, these forms and figures, both personal and collective, are gradually transformed into a narrative composition. From then on, these narratives function as atemporal fictions, daydreams that are nonetheless firmly rooted in the present, since they have absorbed its material. Through the compositions, I hope to refine questions about the imaginary and the constitution of mental images, but also to question the symbols that themselves contribute to constructing our daily lives and our identities, by considering the object as both a receptacle and a creator of narratives \ No newline at end of file
