Project presentation

As part of this residency, I’m continuing my exploration of the possibilities of the image-object, both in the photographic subject and in the material manifestation of the work. Living next door, the proximity of my sculpture studio and L’imprimerie, an artist-run center, is the tipping point for this creative project. Thanks to this residency, I’m creating a bridge between these two studios, originally dedicated to their respective and distinct uses.

It is in this spirit that I amalgamate the language and objects of these two artistic disciplines: sculpture and printing. I use the portrait as a photographic approach, witnessing a cohabitation, or even a possible relationship, between an engraving cloth and a mold. These are propositions marked by the to-and-fro between two creative spaces, propositions that are multiplied tenfold in various forms and media, in terms of how the surface that hosts the image can influence its reading.
