Graduated in june 2020 to Beaux Arts in Lyon in textile design, my drawing and my screen printing process work’s inspired by nature and more specifically minerals and biology.

I was seven years old when my parents and I left our big house in the french countryside and moved to the mountains. A dry landscape, lots of earth and pebbles, itchy plants.

I am now the only child, I no longer climb, I no longer run, I no longer skate or do stunts. I watch the big mountains through the window of my trailer. I walk, I breathe in the earth and I feel the sun crushing me. I lean into the void of the cliffs and know I can fall. I am afraid of nature. I collect white stones, sometimes transparent, which form crystals. They fascinate me. The sand does not spare them, but under a layer of red powder I can feel the smoothness of their structure. They are sometimes pink, sometimes crossed by red veins. The crystals are hanging on some sort of crumbly rough stone and I wonder how such a delicate object can be born in such an arid environment. I collect them, they are very dear to me. They teach me steadfast strength as I barely understand my weakness. It is a treasure that time will not take from me.

As when I was a child, I always take my little film camera around and collect objects that come from nature to build up a repertoire of shapes, textures and colors. Is there's some of my pictures, inspirations, draws, material and textile reserch.

To present to you a specific project that drive me to follow Fabricademy training is my student project to print with mineral pigments: ciment, charcoal, quartz. I would like to develop this and expand to other materials with the help of chemistry, biology and technology.

1. Printing sifted concrete (finer than mortar) on viscose crepe, concrete mixed with glue

2. Mortar printing on polyester voile, mortar sprinkled on the printed glue

3. Charcoal printing on cashmere and silk twill, charcoal mixed with glue

4. Hand crushed quartz printing (it was hard task) on polyester voile, quartz dusted on the printed glue
