(…)
Was it the meticulous, detailed, precise work that soothed the artist at the moment of creation? Or were these objects, of which no one knows where they came from, nor what exactly they could be used for, which, by magically emerging from the organic thickness of his sheet, allowed him to reconnect with his childhood and overcome his old fears?
(…)
Patiently, line after line, point after point, flint and feathers, shells and husks, leaves and flowers, signs and weavings, combs and nails, rituals appear...
Lucky charms, amulets, talismans, lucky charms, fetishes. For the bottom of your pocket or the palm of your hand. For exchange, for sharing. There was a time when nature and man were one.
* "By moving from icon format to poster format, it seems to me that these small objects become larger than me. Then comes the transcendence, like the possibility of immersing oneself..."
Melanie Pasquier
“All art is conjuration”

• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
