SILK & SHEETS

in this intimate series, I work with old sheet pieces my mother has kept and mended to excess. while I was staying in her place during the lock down in France, I transform them to a new life as an hommage to her at the end of her life.

Veils + fire

Works in silk of Lyon. It moves with the air movements. The silk is layered and burned giving the impression it is in fire. The quality of the silk gives a rich and alive monochrom, the pieces use the silk lightness, transparency, shine, folding, light & shadow, and the nobility and history of the fabric. It creates a frame of a beauty both sensual and violent and an ensemble of veils, allegory of one’s inner layers.

Silk of Lyon made in the 80’s for haute couture collections.

black : organza

silver : silk and lurex lamé

 

Mossi masks

  

Works in silk of Lyon. It takes the shape of traditionnal African Mossi masks (tribe in Burkina Faso), long board minimalist with little slit for the eyes. The masks move with the air movements, the silk is layered and burned on the edge, in contrary to the wook mask it transforms due to the lightness, transparency, shine, folding, light & shadow.

Dyed silk

 

Works in silk of Lyon. It moves with the air movements. The silk is dyed and free itself from the frame. The pieces use the silk lightness, shine, folding, light & shadow, and the nobility and history of the fabric. It creates a frame of a beauty both sensual and violent and an ensemble of veils, allegory of one’s inner layers.

Silk and lurex lamé created in the 80’s for haute couture collections .

Silk wings

Works in organza silk of Lyon. It moves with the air movements. The pieces use the folding of the fabric shaping wings like edges, and the silk lightness, transparency, shine, light & shadow.
