Description
Exhibitions as part of the flax festival :
- Marie COLIN-MADAN - Cressonnières de Veules - "Bigoulinengates
I'm an artisan textile designer, and my work on motif (composition, form, color and rhythm) develops through the textile deposits I glean around my home studio. For this installation, part of the linen resources come from this area. With these recycled materials, I create two-tone patchworks called BIGOULIN (bi-goût in linen) as attempts to materialize the precarious equilibrium and duality that inhabit us all. Time is of the essence in my work, and these long, slow gestures give me a real JOY of making that anchors me in the present. Above the waters of Les Cressonnières stand symbolic doors - potential rendezvous - whose successive sections in macramé, appliqué and pojagi hint at passages to infinite possibilities to which each person has his or her own key?

- Claude LE GUENEDAL - Chapelle St Michel - "Trames et Matières
On the occasion of the Linen Festival, my exhibition explores the richness of this fiber through woven wefts and plant sculptures.
Flax, a plant with light, resistant fibers, is explored here in all its dimensions: textile fiber, nourishing seed, raw yarn? becomes living matter, between suppleness and tension, solidity and ephemerality. The wefts create woven landscapes, where thread dialogues with emptiness, while the organic sculptures play with raw fiber, between rootedness
and movement. They evoke natural rhythms, the cycles of living and fading. They are rooted in the idea of linen in motion, at once fragile and structured, where each knot, each interweaving, tells a story of transformation and resilience. This exhibition is part of a contemporary approach, between the materiality of linen and its symbolic charge.
