Biography
Born in 1986, in Rouen.
When I embroider, I restore within myself the security I need to avoid sinking. Like a truth, a pictorial language that is my own and authentic, I restore order to chaos. Like a very instinctive being who captures everything, who absorbs everything that others feel, in the visible and the invisible.
A dialogue is created with what surrounds me, I expect nothing, I plan nothing, I assume nothing, everything is dictated. Words, colors, shapes, it's like a mechanism, a machine that allows me to be safe inside myself, as well as outside. I absorb everything, like an animal absorbs everything from its environment.
I sew up like we sew up life. As we stitch together human beings, as we stitch together nature, forests, rivers, insects. I create ex-votos in the image of a shaman invested with a mission: That of stitching up the wounds that we too often inflict on ourselves. I embroider like we embroider stories. All the stories. The ones that we would like to be real and then the less beautiful ones. I sew, embroider, sew again, heal by letting myself be carried by this symbolic gesture. An ancestral knowledge that has spanned the centuries.
