Description
Flax festival exhibitions :
- Maud ESCUDIER - La bergerie room - "An imaginary space, where the wind reigns."
The Trame Sauvage design studio invites you to discover a collection of contemplative textiles where a sensory design
of linen unfolds through different narratives of captured winds. From storms to whispering breezes, look for the imprint of the wind?s breath on woven tall grass. Linen threads merge into uncontrollable grasses that seek to call you out on our need for wilderness. Textiles that are vegetalized to challenge our irrational modes of cultivation, the idea of a plant that cannot become totally textile, where dissociation becomes pointless because they are all made from plants, from their colorations to their compositions.
A textile collection in line with the idea of doing things differently.
- Dominique LELEUX-HARDY - salle la bergerie
"Consider your compasses out of order, your geography maps obsolete, and come and discover these little places between "Heaven and Earth" where people live that nobody knows. They are faces stolen from photographs, passed through the mill of my needles and re-presented. Whether they're from our time, disappeared or imaginary, here they are, reproduced according to my whims. They populate my little worlds, welcome to our home..."
- Catherine VIGIER - Church - "Souffle de vie
Perhaps everything could start with "once upon a time", but Catherine Vigier?s world is indeed one of unparalleled complexity. Her simplistic characters are full of mystery? For those who take the time
to enter her world "outside time, outside everyday reality" they will in turn be projected into a universe
that is uniquely their own. Another form of life will be given to what has profoundly disappeared
"Monique Béguin Self-taught and self-described "singular artist". I undo life to better remake it. As if I were unwinding a thread of time, I tell stories of humanity, diverting scraps of textile life and ancient know-how, combined with my mixed media technique, to give them a universal and timeless "Breath of Life". - Catherine VIGIER
