Mannequin 2

Bust of a mannequin (without feet) covered in fabrics, embroidery, threads, wools, tassels and ribbons.

One-off piece, signed at the base of the object, on the wood.

She discovers painting under the auspices of Kandinsky (Centre Georges Pompidou, 1979).
Flees school and a benighted family environment. Settles in the South, and lives on small “odd jobs.”
Back in the Paris region, she pursues photography training, which leads her to join the news photo agency Opale, where her collection of photos of writers is kept.

She continues this work for a fairly large number of publishing houses (Fayard, etc.), until she is offered in 2004 to occupy full-time and then part-time the sole position of photographer for the authors of Gallimard editions (where she also photographed works by painters for catalogs – Cocteau, Dali, Picasso, Pincemin, Pignon-Ernest, etc.), which she leaves in 2016, leaving Paris at the same time to settle on the Normandy coast (Seine-Maritime) and devote herself to painting (and its derivatives).
This photographer’s work will have durably interrupted her personal creative activity.

Had, in 2001, the acquaintance of Jacques Clerc (publisher and artist) and Henri Maccheroni (painter and photographer) thanks to whom she exhibited at the Mentoux-Gignac gallery, Paris, IIIe, with them once, alone a second time, before the gallery closed.
She subsequently exhibited in several places, Paris, Nice, Rouen at the Duchoze gallery, and this until the discovery of the possibilities offered by online galleries (Artmajeur).

Her modern artists of choice, numerous: Dado, Saura, Staël, Tapiès, Bourgeois, Pollock, Grau-Garriga, Joan Mitchell, Annette Messager, Rebeyrolle, etc.

Her painting work gave rise to a catalog for the Duchoze gallery, published by the “Rencontres: des lieux, des artistes, Agglomération de Rouen.”

Photographic work on Parisian cemeteries gave rise to several publications and studies; in the mainstream press (Télérama, etc.) as well as in specialized journals (Ligeia, n° spécial “La photographie en vecteur,” analyzed by the philosopher Jean-Louis Déotte, etc.).

In 2022 she began training in classical needle embroidery. She then creates “textile works” as well as weavings with recovered and found materials. She also makes art assemblages, staging recovered objects, plant rites, bones, etc.

She now devotes herself entirely to her work.
