“I like to press my hand on the trunk of a tree I pass, not to make sure of the tree’s existence – of which I have no doubt – but of my own.” – Christian Bobin
Invitation
«Chêne en abîme»
A hundred-year-old oak tree photographed in Crémines becomes the source of the paper and ink used to print its own image.
Print of a “copperplate” gravure on a “vat” paper made with the pulp from the oak’s leaves and black ink from the fallen branches and leaves then charred over a wood fire.
I am pleased to invite you to come and discover the work I did during my four-month residency at Maison-Matrice and look forward to meeting you on this occasion.
See you soon
