His work stemming from the pictorial practice establishes a symbiosis between the real and the abstract according to a principle of overflow and contamination.
She uses simple gestures and works with time; the repetition of wiping the brush on the edge of the paint pot can make crowns of stalactites appear and the coated workshop nails gradually lose their shape and can look like mushrooms.
She recovers and recycles the memetic traces of her pictorial work by elaborating traps with tasks (the armadillos, the softened grids of the geometrical abstraction, the synapses). The fragments of paint that covered the floor are thus fixed and will later be absorbed by the surface of the painting.
The shift from the flat surface to the three-dimensional object and vice versa is often present, she recycles fragments of reality, furtive images of the banal (a lost shoe isolated on the road, a punctured balloon in a meadow, a ball of bread crumbs kneaded no doubt by boredom found on the table, the dog's ball that acts as a dustpan in a corner of the room) proposing a combinatorial work with pieces arranged as if in expansion of form and meaning, in latency.
Her installations, named "Sweet and Cold" and "The Walk or No Springtime for Marnie", are part of a seemingly heterogeneous system governed by accumulation, repetition and entropy.
