►Inside, always go inside. There is a multitude of things to discover in oneself. For thirty years, I have been faithful to paper, a support that I make from paper pulp that comes from rags. This material is a soft texture like cotton, a metaphor for the drape and the skin; a knotty, hollow or flat matrix in which I inscribe my writing, I structure my language, I obey creation. I remember that as a child, at school, I built invisible ramparts to protect myself.
With my brushes filled with color, I painted with passion the kings of France. Under the benevolent gaze of François 1er, time no longer existed. I forgot my fears, I dried my tears. As an adult, I acquired tiny anthropomorphic amulets, in carved wood, which served to protect the person who wore them from evil spirits. Fascinated by the delicacy and tenderness of these little characters with sharp teeth, I installed them on my work table.
For years, I observed them, drew them and transformed them. With the end of my brush, I invented other postures. Today, animals, plants, human beings but also more abstract forms such as lines, points, curves, enrich my graphic language.
I compose my white surface with a brush filled with black ink, I draw flat or in relief, slowly, meticulously. I invest the surface of the paper with my obsessive writing, I check everything and scrutinize the slightest defect. Then begins a work of recomposition. I cut and glue paper bandages to hide the "failures". I reconstruct the drawing to achieve the desired harmony between solids and voids. Thicknesses are added to the initial support, palimpsests of a repressed, rejected, corrected, crumpled writing until perfection. My series, "The sewn mouths", "Flowers and crowns", "Waiting at dusk", "The perfumes of waiting", "The incessant flow of thoughts", "Ruissement", are an abundance of elements linked to each other, a crowd of individuals with questioning looks…!
