To deal with the fragility of nature and its disappearance, many materials seem relevant, but first of all paper. The artist collects sheets of recycled paper. This transformed material retains the power of the tree, but also offers a relative fragility reflecting that of ecosystems.
Insects fascinate the artist. They are the most represented order of insects, and have allowed the artist to weave links between her plastic approach and her primary interest in biology, since she used to be researcher in cell first. Created in September 2019, "dis-koleos" proposed an installation that questioned the public about the disappearance of beetles. The visitor discovered entomological boxes, glass bells, empty or containing paper beetles, sometimes merging from the support on which they rested, vague memories of collections of an antediluvian natural history museum.
These textured papers are combined with other materials, inducing games of transparency. Sometimes, shreds torn from old books are inserted in the creations, like traces of disappearing life, blurring the tracks between nature and artifice, halfway between anecdotal astonishment and scientific curiosity.
