Description: Atmen means “to breathe” in German and is derived from the Ancient Greek for “steam” ἀτμός which has also given us “atmosphere”. Comprising three works from the Dawn Series, Atmen links the macrocosm of the earth’s atmosphere to the microcosm of its inhabitants’ breath. The colour draws the eye downwards in a circular swoop, at a steadfast, unbroken pace like breath, like Qi.

Description: Aube 281 reveals a succession of daybreaks and folds in time.
An immense palette of colours, depicting shimmering shifts of light, drawn from a catalogue of textiles that have been patiently collected, collated and coordinated.
These myriad textiles forge countless connections between their shades and sheens as well as their weave, their weight, their finesse, their drape: their quality.
Vibrations ranging from the daintiest to the deepest resonate as a singular textile score.

4,675 4-cm squares
Description:The series depicts the seasonal development of semi-aquatic, pond plants on a ridge at over 2,000 m in altitude. Come the end of a blistering summer, both the water and plants are conspicuously, glaringly absent.
Inspired as much by West African bogolan as the ephemeral beauty of Andy Goldsworthy’s works, Absence lends a voice to the crack and crevices of the parched land.
Echoing the aridity of the topic, the work draws on a frugal array of some 20 fabrics. An arrangement of raw and robust canvases alongside linen formerly used in prisons.
Around the clumps of earth baked dry, irregular yet achingly similar crevices crackled by the heat, as if trimmed with an incandescent metal or mica.

Description: Le changement technique opéré avec la Série des Neiges se décline pour la Série Orage dans une gamme chromatique sombre. Le relief des plis varie avec les armures, les matières et la présence – absence du carton utilisé pour le pliage. Les incessantes variations des états du ciel agité par la tempête et la colère de l’atmosphère sont synthétisés par le volume et la matière de ces petits formats. En vitrine pour faciliter son installation, chaque Orage condense autant de superpositions de perceptions.
