<\/a><\/div>\n“The collage conceals a potential of surprise, it is by essence composed by several hands…<\/p>\n
To find in the drawing this part of outside to oneself which provokes sometimes crucial chances is the objective…<\/p>\n
To cling to the medium as one clings during a shipwreck to the first floating object that passes by and will (perhaps) bring us back to shore in a place we never imagined.<\/p>\n
An alternative to a know-how that can be swirling but always ends up in the same place.<\/p>\n
Emancipate the images from their first meaning, take the drawing out of its condition so that it does not remain prisoner of the “pencil stroke”…<\/p>\n
I’m more interested in every escape attempt, even if it fails, than a well-decorated cell.”<\/p>\n
