Artistic work
She deploys a work of drawing and volume by going back and forth between these two mediums. The game on the stability of lines establishes a balance, where everything rests equally on tensions and counterweights and on the possibilities of a sheet of paper as real space and stripped down to its essentials. If the sheet of paper is taken as an object, with its gravity, its edges, its angles, its texture, then the drawing object is a physical space, real and entire. The drawings on paper often close to volume respond to structures in the space close to the drawing. A way to look at the gestures performed, from line to line, on paper or in volume and play their similarities.

She participates in various exhibitions in art centers and galleries (selection below). She was in residence at Fenêtre Augmentée, Montpellier, and Collioure in 2014, at the Terra Foundation in 2009, at Est-Nord Est in Canada in 2007, as well as at the municipal school of fine arts of Châteauroux in 2006. In 2020, she will be part of the residency program of Villa Empain, Boghossian Foundation in Brussels.
