Flora Gueton
France • 1987
Presentation
Self-taught artist in Orcines, I am passionate about old objects and recovery of all kinds.
I do assembly work with old objects or materials worn by time and the elements (driftwood, various metals, tools...). Rust, holes, stains are not faults for me, they are messengers from another time that I like to imagine, and I refuse to throw them away. I like to associate them and make them tell a new story through characters from my imagination. Do not distort their shape, their patina, their soul, just show them to you as they speak to me. Follower of zero waste, in my approach I try to use only second-hand products (fleshed, found, donated...) for the creation but also its support.
