‘EX-VOTO’
To mark the publication of the book *Ex-Voto* by Éditions des Moulins, Les Moulins are presenting an exhibition bringing together over a hundred artists, authors and musicians to explore themes of gratitude, memory and the invisible.






TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LIVING 2026
Work in progress

Carving breasts out of wood, for me, is to reverse the surgeon’s gesture: where tools have removed a feature from the body, others now come to bring the material to the surface. The topographical curves and the contours traversed appear in the grain of the wood, like a map to be read where the body becomes territory.

My work explores the connections between the body, memory and inner landscapes.
Through my artistic practice, I seek to give form to that which defies words: the emotions associated with loss, absence, grief and the transformations that shape a life.
My creations arise from intimate experiences that gradually take on a more collective dimension. They explore the traces that events, legacies and displacements leave upon bodies, landscapes and materials.
I pay particular attention to materials. Wood, found objects, images and maps become the mediums for an exploration where the sensory and the symbolic converge.
Between the sacred and the carnal, light and shadow, my work seeks to make visible what is felt, to express the unnameable, the inexpressible.

These pieces, skulls and masks are the reflection of a dual quest for identity.  The identity of the objects and that of the artist (mine).
The combination of techniques inspired by folk art are made up of a blend of ancestral symbolic references and materials from my everyday life as well as relics and other sacred objects preciously compiled.
I become one with them; I wrestle to the rhythm of my inner voice, seeking answers in the objects I create. When I return from this trying journey jewellery floats before me, as though emerging from Chaos, shouting its presence and demanding to know of me whence it comes.

More and more, it is the wild woman in me who expresses herself, drawing on my dark zones, feeding on my forbidden emotions, exploring my limits, flirting with the abject, the unspeakable. What fascinates her, revolts me; what disgusts me, seduces her.
The earth, the sky, beliefs, age old rites and legends are for her a vital space of artistic breath. In the shadow of reality, in the light of my fantasies.
