Challenging the boundaries of paper

As a conceptual artist who studied ceramics and photography, my  interest is with issues of the environment and humanities relationship to nature.

My work is inspired by the flora and fauna, oxide coloured rocks and the harsh climate of the cevennes region of France where I live.

I work more and more with  plants making works that I hope convey a sense of place, and a sense of the historical connection between the cevenoles of past times and the landscape.

I  process the plants to produce fibres  that symbolise the essence of nature.

Working in a environmentally friendly manner without the use of chemical additives, in the open air  initiating I hope a dialogue between art and nature.
