Biography

In parallel to my extensive research on drawing, I am working since a few months on new series of works: Dug Iconotropy. In this series, I work as a geologist, exploring my own idea of the image morphology.

Here, the excavations carried out on the images layers build new image in the depth of the book. In these latest pieces, I dig some parts of the selected book or magazine to empty it from its iconographical substance, in order to provide it with a new identity. The new visual is like a piece of marquetry composed of bits and pieces. Once the layer excavation is complete, I choose whether to make the object disappear beneath a white passe-partout or decide to associate it to other magazines to create a whole new composition.
