"Argo blues" est un gaufrage encré unique puisqu'il est le berceau d'une cristallisation au sulfate de cuivre (produit initialement utilisé pour mordre les plaques de zinc en gravure). Il représente la constellation d'Argo, le célèbre navire qui amena Jason et ses argonautes à la conquête de la Toison d'Or... Récit mythique d'une époque où les grandes épopées se faisaient en bateau...
Son titre est pourtant une erreur d'interprétation de ma part : initialement je voulais parler du navire de Thésée qui, au fur et à mesure de son périple, a subit des changements dans sa structure, le navire d'escale en escale a remplacé son mat puis une grande partie de sa coque, si bien qu'il n'était plus le même qu'au départ... Métaphore des changements dans notre vie, les épreuves nous changent voire nous transforment...
"La mort est derrière nous, ce sont les minutes ées que nous vivrons plus ! "
La cristallisation est un lent processus comme la gravure, étape par étape chaques gestes comptent pour le résultat.
Encadrée par un professionnel avec un verre anti reflet et un cadre en bois d'ayous (30x35cm) et un système d'accroche unique par anneau.

Visual artist, born in 1978 in Lille. currently lives in Caen, .
I situate my work between a laboratory of forms (search for volume through drawing, painting and sculpture) and a tendency towards DIY (recycling of found objects and materials, transformation of their uses, reinvestment of their signs and questions about their subjects). I approach several mediums at the same time in order to extend the creative process to other fields of research: anthropology, natural sciences, etc.
The pooling of the two works like a small world with its own energy flows.
Usually I start with a series of sketches, notes and diagrams. I also rely on my reading, on a lot of images, which I feed on with bulimia. I exhaust their meanings until there is emulsion. This may explain the dreamy but also saturated appearance of my installations. Without cultivating a pessimistic view of the world, despite everything, I question our future through figures that are close to us, towards an imaginary that I wish to be collective; it is an opening onto a composition with multiple perspectives.
My recurring themes are environmental around the domus (house, private sphere/public sphere, hospital, etc.) and the extended living, according to a spatial questioning centered on the flow of energies, on magnetism and a set of enigmatic correlations.
