Between industry and craftsmanship, my work explores the contrasts in materials and their capacity to unite in portable micro-architectures. The pieces I create from metal and rope, two complementary materials from industry, allow me a wide variety of uses and an infinite range of combinations.
In the serie Blackphabet Bis, my pieces are spaces to inhabit, sculptures whose mechanical anatomy dialogues with the suppleness of the body that wears them. Inspired by architecture and industrial mechanisms, I exploit constraint as a way of generating form and giving life to matter. A refined beauty is revealed in the fine junction of two tubes, the silkiness of the rope or the dark velvet of the lacquered surface.
