Why put up barriers between different disciplines when they can feed one another? The richness of a body of work also lies in its diversity. After earning my bachelor’s degree in biology, I turned to the fine arts, which made me want to give birth to objects. Following my DNAP (the French national diploma in visual arts), I chose to explore several approaches alongside craftspeople from different trades. I have no defined line of work, only avenues of research and inspiration.

Most of the time I start from materials I gather locally (feathers, shells) or while traveling. This lets me showcase the riches of a region by approaching it first through its natural resources, and then through “its human history”, by way of weaving and jewelry-making.
It is a world full of color, rich in tradition and know-how.
Beadwork requires no complex tools, just two simple, universal things: thread and a needle. Easy to carry, it lets me go anywhere and enrich the weaving with the surroundings of each moment: the place, the people present and the encounters it creates.
These possibilities and this richness are essential to me.
