Abstract inner landscapes

I created this small embroideries collection, thinking about how to reduce the footprint of artworks.

I sometimes use several pieces of textile stitched together as a base for my embroideries, instead of cutting out another piece of fabric at the right mesures.

For this artworks I used scraps from fabrics that I recently found in Le Couvent’s attic, the artists center where my workshop is settled in Marseille, small pieces of luxury fabrics that I had carefully saved since I left my job in a womenswear house many years ago, and draping fabric leftovers from my own textile studio.

I arranged small abstract lanscapes, associating various pieces of colorful rich textiles to the “poor” offwhite cotton draping textile, connecting all of them together with a few stitches.

Each arrangement is reflecting the emotions I had while doing this work.

This serie enabled me to come back to colors, and to introduce some mouvements and relief in my embroidery artpieces.
