Description of general work / practice

The plastic experiments that she has been carrying out in recent years have focused on identifying the rituals that bring bodies together (food sharing, games, care and ornamentation of the body) and create groups, assemblies or crowds of women. They are based on investigative work based on elements from material and popular history (Z movie posters, military instruction scarves, protective amulets, etc.). The anecdote is at the center of her work, in an approach that often joins micro-history. Achievements take distinct forms and supports. The choice of materials (leather, bone, wood, hair, silk…) and materializations of this research (edition, installation, graphic works, sculptures…) is always slowly matured, and tries to be as close as possible to the object or the story at the source of the creation.
