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
