I create my tapestries, from the drawing of the sketches to their realisations „in wool“, always as unique pieces. Working as a self-taught tapestry artist, these nine years were dedicated to the mere exploitation of the surface. I thus wove nine tapestries of different dimensions, <strong>and</strong> closed this cycle of work with a triptych finished in June 1997. At the beginning of my work on tapestries, <strong>and</strong> influenced by a training period at the Ecole Nationale d’<strong>Art</strong>s Décoratifs in Aubusson, I was initiated to the techniques by the way of transcriptions of well-known paintings (Goya, Gauguin, le Douanier Rousseau, <strong>and</strong> a painting by a friend painter, Alain Golay, whose daring composition of a face had struck me ). After that period, my tapestries were the fruit of photographic research. Which is explained both by my interest in cinema <strong>and</strong> my different trips to foreign countries. Relying on haphazard cutting <strong>and</strong> reassembling, I shaped new l<strong>and</strong>scapes, <strong>and</strong> human forms differently combined – a kaleidoscope of bodies <strong>and</strong> faces. From then on, my theme of research will be unique <strong>and</strong> my way of exploiting it multiple, due to my fascination for the human body. Since the chosen material matters from the very idea of the sketches, I wanted to use the traces left by the body on different malleable materials. After fruitless trials with s<strong>and</strong>, I decided to use a pool of mud in which I printed different positions of my body. After being photographed at various stages in the process of drying <strong>and</strong> crackling, these gave the triptych „Géographie humaine“ („Human Geography“) as a conclusion to the combination photo/tapestry. After my previous interest in the outward shape, I am now trying to find the interior beauty. Between 1998 <strong>and</strong> 2004, I have made a series of seven tapestries inspired by the work of André Vesale <strong>and</strong>, more generally, by the difficult beginnings of anatomy, between <strong>Art</strong> <strong>and</strong> Science. I am very interested in anatomic wax representations. Nature goes in Resistance. There is no opposition between human <strong>and</strong> nature but just take conscious aware the impact between them. Just a disquiet, face of our antic relations <strong>and</strong> their progressive destruction. 96
