Des pratiques violentes \u00e0 l&#8217;encontre des gardiens des sagesse de la terre qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 impos\u00e9es \u00e0 l&#8217;\u00e9tranger par la colonisation des Europ\u00e9ens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Aujourd&#8217;hui, alors que les mouvements de d\u00e9colonisation des id\u00e9es et des pratiques prennent plus d&#8217;ampleur, de plus en plus de personnes s&#8217;int\u00e9ressent aux traditions et innovations locales qui tentent de restaurer et de r\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des patrimoines culturels situ\u00e9s respectueux de la nature. En m&#8217;installant dans ma nouvelle vie dans le village de Samois-sur-Seine pr\u00e8s de Paris, j&#8217;ai plong\u00e9 dans un espace d&#8217;introspection. J&#8217;ai fait des recherches sur les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes sp\u00e9cifiques du bassin parisien, les modes de subsistance traditionnels associ\u00e9s ainsi que les univers symboliques associ\u00e9s \u00e0 ces lieux. Une r\u00e9gion du monde si famili\u00e8re et dont j&#8217;avais pourtant tant \u00e0 apprendre. Arch\u00e9ologie d&#8217;une indig\u00e9n\u00e9it\u00e9 francilienne, et traces de pratiques culturelles dans la tendresse et le respect de la terre\u2026 C&#8217;est cette histoire dans laquelle je puise pour d\u00e9velopper mon parcours artistique et que je souhaite vous raconter aujourd&#8217;hui. Merci d&#8217;\u00eatre l\u00e0. Embarquons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">wisdoms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><strong>I CAME BACK TO MY COUNTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">Full with the land-based spiritualities and wisdoms encountered during my long journey abroad. From the Native American teachings of the Northeast and Southwest of Turtle Island from the Haudenosaunee, Algonquin, Pot\u00e9 Watami, Din\u00e9, and Lakota Nations, to New York&#8217;s cosmopolitanism, to the Mesopotamian and Sufi spirituality encountered in the Aegean region of Turkey, I felt profoundly humbled and nurtured by the ways of the people I could encounter. From this great period of introduction to different cultures, I realised the importance of connecting with cultural practices that maintain and honour the intimate connection to the great whole of Mother Earth here too in Europe, in France my home country, and more specifically in the Parisian Basin where I grew up as a Parisian. Here the voices of people holding traditional ecological knowledge have been silenced sometimes for centuries through various forms of shaming, interdiction and at times extermination in the name of religion or of an idea of modernity. Violent practices against wisdom keepers of the land that were brought abroad through colonization by Europeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">Today, as more movements focus on the decolonisation of ideas and practices, an increasing number of people are paying attention to local traditions and innovations that are restoring and regenerating geographically specific nature-honouring cultural heritages. While settling into my new life in the village of Samois-sur-Seine, I plunged into a space of introspection and research of the Parisian basin ecologies and traditional ways of subsistence. The location was favourable, the village being ideally situated between the largest forest in the region, that of Fontainebleau, and the river Seine just upstream from Paris. A region of the world so familiar and yet of which I had so much to learn from. Archaeology of a Francilien indigeneity, and traces of cultural practices in tenderness and respect of the earth&#8230; It is this history in which I draw in order to develop my artistic path and that I wish to tell you today. Thanks for being here. Let\u2019s embark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

Je per\u00e7ois la v\u00e9g\u00e9tation mouvante au fil des temps, la grande \u00e9pop\u00e9e nomade des arbres. Imaginons la derni\u00e8re \u00e8re glaciaire, l&#8217;\u00e8re froide du gen\u00e9vrier, du pin et du bouleau de la Pl\u00e9istoc\u00e8ne, qui en migrant vers le Nord alors que les climats se r\u00e9chauffent laisseront la place au ch\u00eane, \u00e0 l&#8217;orme, au h\u00eatre, feuillus des temps doux de l\u2019Holoc\u00e8ne que nous connaissons aujourd&#8217;hui.

Getting to know the ancient times of this earth moved me. It reversed my narrow perception of the world by enlarging it fantastically, an experience that anchored me in a calm and ancestral form of humility. It is as if time welcomed me, so tiny, in the palms of its infinite hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">Imagine thousands of years ago, the time before, well before the construction of the city of Paris. An ocean stretched out here, and you can still find wide stretches of sand among the trees of the region and below the city pavements. I perceive the vegetation moving across times, the great nomadic experiences of trees. Let&#8217;s imagine the last ice age, the cold era of juniper, pine and birch of the Pleistocene, which by migrating northward as the climate warms up will give way to oak, elm, beech, hardwoods of the mild Holocene that we know today. From the steeps where roamed the elks, comes the forested times were the stags and the wild boars ruled. From the oceanic times there remains large rock formations, timeless sandstone that shapes the Fontainebleau forest&#8217;s landscapes in surreal ways. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure

The analogy is obvious with nature itself; through the multiplicity of phenomena and the continuity of cycles of which it is made, one recognises the fundamental unity of nature.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2c791aaa4f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2c791aaa4f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"51184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.1panneaucheval.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.1panneaucheval.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.1panneaucheval-839x560.jpeg 839w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.1panneaucheval-100x67.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption>Dans un abri \u00e0 Noisy-sur-\u00c9cole, deux chevaux grav\u00e9s encadrent un relief d\u2019origine naturelle en forme de pubis f\u00e9minin.

La plus ancienne gravure trouv\u00e9e dans la for\u00eat de Fontainebleau montre un pubis f\u00e9minin entour\u00e9 de deux chevaux. Dite &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.persee.fr\/doc\/bspf_0249-7638_2010_num_107_3_13949\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.persee.fr\/doc\/bspf_0249-7638_2010_num_107_3_13949\" target=\"_blank\">de la S\u00e9gognole<\/a>&#8220;, elle est litt\u00e9ralement la &#8220;grand-m\u00e8re&#8221; de la manifestation humaine dans la for\u00eat, car cette gravure a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e 10 000 ans avant toutes les autres. Elle a environ 20 000 ans et est contemporaine des grottes de Lascaux. Le plus touchant est que cet oeuvre d&#8217;art premi\u00e8re est aussi une fontaine, elle est dynamique. Les anciens de l&#8217;\u00e9poque ont travaill\u00e9 la roche pour permettre \u00e0 l&#8217;eau de s&#8217;\u00e9couler \u00e0 travers ce symbole du sexe f\u00e9minin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Cette oeuvre d&#8217;art si primordiale m&#8217;a remplie de joie, me faisant accueillir mon f\u00e9minin de fa\u00e7on renouvel\u00e9, fier de sa force. Quelle ressource vive que cet h\u00e9ritage grav\u00e9, dans une r\u00e9gion du monde o\u00f9 la puissance transformatrice des femmes a trop longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 brid\u00e9e. C&#8217;est accompagn\u00e9e de ces mythologies associ\u00e9es \u00e0 un f\u00e9minin ancestral que je me suis plong\u00e9 plus en avant dans des formes d\u2019exploration artistiques du monde et de moi-m\u00eame. Ecoutant mon instinct, dans mon atelier et dans la nature, j\u2019ai plong\u00e9 dans un univers multi-sensoriel, sans normes, en couleurs et en rythmes. Je me reliais alors au mouvement \u00e9co-f\u00e9ministe \u00e0 travers des actions spontan\u00e9es, reli\u00e9es \u00e0 la terre, \u00e0 l&#8217;eau et \u00e0 mon corps que je percevait alors comme un grand tout sans s\u00e9paration, ample, immense, et sans fin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">As my immersion in the long time of my region continued, in search of ancestral artistic references that honour life, I was struck by a great discovery. The oldest engraving found in the Fontainebleau forest shows a female pubis surrounded by two horses. This engraving &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.persee.fr\/doc\/bspf_0249-7638_2010_num_107_3_13949\" target=\"_blank\">de la S\u00e9gognole<\/a>&#8221; is literally the &#8220;grand mother&#8221; of human manifestation in the forest, it was made 10,000 years before all the others. It is about 20,000 years old and is contemporary with the Lascaux caves. What is most moving about this early art form is that it is also a fountain, it is active. The ancients worked the rock to allow water to flow through this symbol of female sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">This primordial work of art has filled me with joy, making me welcome my feminine in a renewed way, proud of its strength. What a living resource this engraved heritage is, in a region of the world where the transformative power of women has been curbed for too long. It was with these mythologies associated with an ancestral feminine that I plunged further into artistic exploration of the world and of myself. In my studio and outside in nature, listening to my instincts, I plunged into a multi-sensory universe, without norms, in colours and rhythms. I connected myself then to the eco-feminist movement through spontaneous actions, connected to the earth, to water<strong> <\/strong>and to my body that I could then perceive as a great whole without separation, ample, immense, and endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/778916488?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATER \u6c34\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/773413746?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">rythmes du paysage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\"><strong>ECOUTER LES PULSATIONS DU MONDE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Les pulsations cycliques du village o\u00f9 j\u2019ai v\u00e9cu au bord du fleuve, me sont sont devenues \u00e9videntes \u00e0 force de promenades au bord de l\u2019eau, en for\u00eat, et le jour et la nuit, au rythme des saisons, des migrations d&#8217;oiseaux, de l\u2019\u00e9closion des fleurs et de la chute des feuilles.

Sud des Etats Unis ainsi que des pigments tr\u00e8s color\u00e9s ramen\u00e9s du N\u00e9pal par ma tante et qui servent aux d\u00e9cors des statues sacr\u00e9es et des temples miniatures. C\u2019est l\u2019automne et le rythme de la nature s&#8217;exprime en motifs exub\u00e9rants de feuilles tomb\u00e9es au sol. A chaque lieu des motifs de feuilles agenc\u00e9es par le vent jonchant le sol raconte la diversit\u00e9 des arbres locaux. Au bord de la Seine, je croise les feuilles de l\u2019aulne, du saule, du bouleau, du tilleul, du platane et dans la for\u00eat proche se rencontrent celles du ch\u00e2taignier, de l&#8217;\u00e9rable, du h\u00eatre et du ch\u00eane. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">practice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><strong>A CELEBRATION OF TREES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">I started to paint with indigo blue pigments that I had left from the South of the United States as well as very coloured pigments brought back from Nepal by my aunt and which are used to decorate sacred statues and miniature temples. It is autumn and the rhythm of nature is expressed in exuberant patterns of fallen leaves. In each place, the patterns of leaves arranged by the wind littering the ground tell of the diversity of local trees. On the banks of the Seine I come across the leaves of the alder, willow, birch, lime, plane tree and in the nearby forest I come across those of the chestnut, beech, maple and oak trees.

L&#8217;ESTH\u00c9TISME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Tandis que ce processus intuitif se d\u00e9roule, mon intention se d\u00e9finit plus clairement. J\u2019ai pass\u00e9 sept ann\u00e9es \u00e0 organiser des actions concr\u00e8tes pour l\u2019environnement dans des villes fran\u00e7aises, am\u00e9ricaines et turques. J\u2019ai co-d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 des services d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019alimentation locale dans des centres d\u2019art contemporain, des ateliers de soin des \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes avec des agences de paysagisme et des municipalit\u00e9s, ainsi que des espaces de r\u00e9flexion collective. Je ressens \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent le besoin profond de raffiner une esth\u00e9tique qui puisse accompagner ces actions. A la question de savoir ce qu\u2019un artiste peut apporter en plus que les activistes et des citoyen.ne.s b\u00e9n\u00e9voles qui imaginent et participent \u00e0 ces engagements, j&#8217;ai compris que nous les artistes avons plusieurs r\u00f4les \u00e0 jouer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Tout d\u2019abord, l\u2019importance de l\u2019esth\u00e9tique, une attention apport\u00e9e \u00e0 la beaut\u00e9 et au sens. Je crois qu\u2019il est important d\u2019offrir des propositions qui apportent des couleurs et des formes au discours \u00e9cologique. Quel que soit le m\u00e9dium, la pratique artistique permet de partager l\u2019aspect \u00e9motionnel et spirituel de cette culture ancestrale du respect de la terre m\u00e8re. Elle revitalise ainsi une fonction premi\u00e8re des \u0153uvres d\u2019art qui est de nous connecter au reste du vivant non-humain. Elle cr\u00e9e des espaces pour que des formes subtiles de communication avec la nature puissent se produire. Cette fonction &#8220;magique&#8221; de l&#8217;objet artistique comme interm\u00e9diaire entre l&#8217;int\u00e9rieur (la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 humaine) et l&#8217;ext\u00e9rieur (son environnement) est au c\u0153ur de ma r\u00e9flexion. Les formes esth\u00e9tiques qui nourrissent notre sentiment de reliance au tout et qui perp\u00e9tuent les cultures fertiles du vivre ensemble, se retrouvent commun\u00e9ment dans les cultures autochtones et les artisanats vernaculaires du monde entier. Ils ont surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 qui voulait les rel\u00e9gu\u00e9s au rang de simples formes d\u00e9coratives. Ces objects per\u00e7us comme anim\u00e9s sont des hymnes profonds \u00e0 la nature qui rayonne sans les mots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">society<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><strong>ON THE IMPORTANCE OF AESTHETIC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">As this intuitive process unfolds, my intention becomes more clearly defined. I have spent seven years organising concrete actions for the environment in French, American and Turkish cities. I have co-developed local food access services in contemporary art-centers, ecosystem care workshops with landscape agencies and municipalities and co-curated events offering shared reflection spaces. I now feel a deep need to refine an aesthetic that can accompany these actions. To the question of what an artist can bring in addition to the activists and citizen volunteers who imagine and participate in these engagements, I realized that we artists have several roles to play.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">First, the importance of aesthetic, An attention to beauty and meaning. I believe it is important to offer proposals that bring colors and forms to the ecological discourse. Whatever the medium, artistic practice allows us to share the emotional and spiritual aspect of this ancestral culture of respect for Mother Earth. It revitalizes a primary function of artworks which is to connect us to the rest of the non-human living world. It creates spaces for subtle forms of communication with nature to occur. This &#8220;magical&#8221; function of the artistic object as an intermediary between the interior (human society) and the exterior (its environment) is at the heart of my reflection. Aesthetic forms that nourish our sense of connection to the whole and perpetuate the fertile cultures of living together are commonly found in indigenous cultures and vernacular crafts around the world, surviving the push to be relegated as merely decorative art forms. These objects perceived as animated are deep hymns to nature radiating without words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped

LIEU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Cet id\u00e9al m\u2019invite \u00e0 m\u2019essayer \u00e0 la pratique d\u2019un artisanat vernaculaire (propre \u00e0 un pays), qui relie esth\u00e9tisme et r\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9 avec le vivant non-humain. Inspir\u00e9e par les motifs trouv\u00e9s dans le paysage &#8211; \u00e9corces, feuilles, calligraphie de l\u2019onde &#8211; j\u2019ai d\u2019abord choisi de n&#8217;inventer aucune forme et de prendre tel quel les \u00e9l\u00e9ments du paysage dont la physionomie m\u2019inspire. C\u2019est ainsi que les motifs de feuilles se sont impos\u00e9s \u00e0 moi avec leur anatomie particuli\u00e8re, chacune \u00e9tant la signature de l\u2019arbre qui les porte. Je fais s\u00e9cher ces feuilles glan\u00e9es lors de mes promenades dans un herbier, puis je les agence sur le papier sans r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir m&#8217;essayant aux r\u00e9sonances spontan\u00e9es, cr\u00e9ant \u00e0 mon insu des compositions psych\u00e9d\u00e9liques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">En parall\u00e8le, j&#8217;ai beaucoup r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi \u00e0 la mat\u00e9rialit\u00e9 de mes travaux. Comment cr\u00e9er des images &#8211; ces supports d\u2019\u00e9motions &#8211; qui soient respectueuses de la terre? En me penchant sur cette r\u00e9flexion je me suis int\u00e9ress\u00e9 \u00e0 la biod\u00e9gradabilit\u00e9 des \u0153uvres. Polluront-elle l\u2019eau et les sols? J\u2019ai vite d\u00fb abandonner la photographie et la vid\u00e9o et je suis revenue \u00e0 la simplicit\u00e9 du papier et des pigments naturels. Se sont impos\u00e9s les papiers artisanaux en coton recycl\u00e9 puis en chanvre et lin, les couleurs locales faites d&#8217;argiles et de plantes sp\u00e9cifiques, et les liants faits d\u2019huile et de cire. Dans cette perspective d&#8217;artisanat local j\u2019ai recherch\u00e9 les couleurs les plus vives issues des espaces les plus proches de chez moi. Ce que j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9, gr\u00e2ce aux fabricants de couleurs, sont des terres de Bourgogne, de Provence, du Massif Central, de l&#8217;Occitanie, d\u2019Italie et d\u2019Allemagne et des plantes cultiv\u00e9es en France, principalement dans le Sud. Cette recherche a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019une richesse foisonnante qui m&#8217;a fait d\u00e9couvrir l\u2019histoire fran\u00e7aise et europ\u00e9enne des couleurs. L\u2019utilisation de ces mat\u00e9riaux naturels se r\u00e9v\u00e8le d\u2019une grande douceur et facilit\u00e9, m\u2019offrant des moments de cr\u00e9ation exquis o\u00f9 les pigments ont une autonomie propre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">developing a vernacular craft<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><strong>A PRACTICE ROOTED IN PLACE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">This ideal invites me to try my hand at vernacular (space specific) craftsmanship, which connects aestheticism and reciprocity with non-human life forms Inspired by the patterns found in the landscape &#8211; bark, leaves, calligraphy of the wave &#8211; I chose at first to invent only I don&#8217;t use any form and take as is the elements of the landscape whose physiognomy inspires me. This is how the leaf patterns came to me with their particular anatomy, each one being the signature of the tree that bears them. I dry these leaves gleaned during my walks in a herbarium, then I arrange them on paper without thinking, trying out spontaneous resonances, intuitively creating psychedelic compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">In addition, I have thought a lot about the materiality of my work. How to create images &#8211; supports of emotions &#8211; that are respectful of the earth? While thinking about this, I became interested in the biodegradability of the works.  Could they pollute the water and the soil? I soon had to abandon photography and video and returned to the simplicity of paper, natural pigments, with oil and wax binders. First, I used recycled cotton papers and then hemp and linen. I painted on them with local colours made from specific clay soils and plants. In this quest to produce a local craft I looked for the brightest colours from the spaces closest to home. What I found, thanks to the color makers, were soils from Burgundy, Provence, Massif Central, Occitanie, Italy and Germany and plants grown in France, mainly in the South. This research has been richly rewarding and has led me to discover French and European history of colours. The use of these natural materials turns out to be very gentle and easy, offering me exquisite moments of creation where the pigments have their own autonomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Petit \u00e0 petit se d\u00e9finit un artisanat o\u00f9 les images sont des hymnes et des offrandes.<\/p><p> <em>Little by little a craft is defined where the images are hymns and offerings<\/em>. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2c791b0918&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2c791b0918\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1936\" height=\"1330\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"50612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-14-at-11.10.08.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-14-at-11.10.08.png 1936w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-14-at-11.10.08-815x560.png 815w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-14-at-11.10.08-1536x1055.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-14-at-11.10.08-100x69.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1936px) 100vw, 1936px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">art matriarcal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\"><strong>SOUTENANT LA VIE, <strong>PRATIQUE &amp; SPIRITUEL,<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>COMMUNAUTAIRE, EXTATIQUE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">La dimension spirituelle de ce travail s&#8217;installe ainsi dans les dessins de fa\u00e7on intuitive.

Les matriarchies sont des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s centr\u00e9es sur la m\u00e8re, elles sont bas\u00e9es sur les valeurs maternelles : prendre soin, nourrir, \u00eatre maternel, assurer la paix, ce qui vaut pour tout le monde : pour les m\u00e8res et celles qui ne le sont pas, pour les femmes et les hommes.

Matriarchies are mother-centered societies, they are based on&nbsp;maternal values:&nbsp;care-taking, nurturing, motherliness, peace building which holds for everybody: for mothers and those who are not mothers, for women and men alike. They are consciously built upon these maternal values and motherly work, and this is why they are much more realistic than patriarchies. They are, on principle, need-oriented. Their precepts aim to meet everyone\u2019s needs with the greatest benefit. So, in matriarchies, mothering \u2013 which originates as a biological fact \u2013 is transformed into a&nbsp;cultural model. This model is much more appropriate to the human condition than the way patriarchy has conceptualised motherhood and used it to make women especially mothers into slaves.(&#8230;) Matriarchies are societies with complementary equality, with great care is taken to provide a balance. This applies to the balance between genders, among generations, and between humans and nature.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">Of all the regions of the world, Europe is the only one where matriarchal societies have completely disappeared. In the same way, the artistic forms that carry these values have also gradually disappeared. Matriarchal art forms are not based on fiction, they intervene on reality through dynamic symbols. In this way, this art form is not fixed or inert but is a process where everyone participates in the manifestation of symbols (from a matriarchal mythology known to all) in the materiality of a shared daily life. One can imagine today that this mythology known to all is that of the mother earth such as it is presented under its day at the same time scientific and spiritual (the matriarchal art not making distinction between the two). By combining contemplation, identification with and action, structured by a series of symbols both concrete and mythical, this art can lead to states of being, sometimes ecstatic, that have the power to change individual and collective reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e5fbeb3a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2c791b14b4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2c791b14b4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full noshrink wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"47\" height=\"64\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/quote-carmen-dk-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51376\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">&#8220;<em>The Matriarchal system of values is entirely different from the patriarcal one (&#8230;) Eroticism is its dominant power &#8212; not work, discipline, or renunciation.

dans Paris, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 je suis n\u00e9e. De la for\u00eat large \u00e0 la for\u00eat urbaine. Le hasard m\u2019a ramen\u00e9 au point de d\u00e9part, dans le quartier de mon enfance, au pied de la butte Montmartre. J\u2019am\u00e8ne beaucoup de choses dans mes bagages. La perspective du temps long que je peux appliquer \u00e0 la ville, regarder sa g\u00e9ographie, sa g\u00e9ologie, sa topographie, ses rivi\u00e8res et canaux, ses monts et ses parcelles de for\u00eat. Le ressenti intuitif en milieu urbain, le lien avec les jardiniers de la ville, avec les arbres, avec les squares, avec les jeunes plantes qui reverdissent ma rue. C\u2019est ma f\u00e9minit\u00e9 intuitive qui se d\u00e9ploie parmi les b\u00e2timents. Je recherche les espaces de connexion avec la nature urbaine non-humaine, dans les rares parcs et au bord de la Seine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">En fin de semaine aussi je partais \u00e0 v\u00e9lo \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019autres espaces verts \u00e0 la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie de la ville qui puissent eux aussi me connecter au temps lointain, comme le fait la for\u00eat de Fontainebleau. J\u2019ai ainsi explor\u00e9 la for\u00eat de Rambouillet et les rives de la Marne, espaces r\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rants \u00e0 porter de ville.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">to enter Paris again<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><strong>AFTER TWO YEARS OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">I finally decided to put down roots in Paris, where I was born. From the wide forest to the urban forest. Chance brought me back to the starting point, in the neighborhood of my childhood, at the foot of the Butte Montmartre. I bring many things in my luggage. The perspective of a deep time that I can apply to the city, to look at its geography, its geology, its topography, its rivers and canals, its mountains and its patches of forest. The intuitive feeling in the urban environment, the link with the gardeners of the city, with the trees, with the squares, with the young plants that green my street. It is my intuitive femininity that unfolds among the buildings. I look for spaces of connection with the non-human urban nature, in the rare parks and at the edge of the Seine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">At the end of the week, I also went by bike in search of other green spaces on the outskirts of the city that could also connect me to the distant past, as the forest of Fontainebleau does. I thus explored the forest of Rambouillet and the banks of the Marne, regenerating spaces close to the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2

Filled with emotion at this beautiful response, I asked the gardeners if I could help them plant the saplings. The oldest of them immediately retorted that it was impossible because of insurances. But the youngest of them, surprised and happy to find a counterpart, retorted that I would be his trainee for the planting! And so, thanks to Sophoan and the old plane tree, I was able to anchor myself in the nature of my city by planting about twenty young trees. A gesture that I had been able to do in the country but rarely in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">This reminded me of the participatory gardening approach I had had the chance to experience in New York, through the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nycgovparks.org\/reg\/advanced-stewardship\" target=\"_blank\">Super Steward Program<\/a>, a city initiative that invites everyone, thanks to very short training sessions, to work on the care of urban nature. Identification of species, pruning of trees, planting at the foot of trees, cleaning, watering, etc. a whole range of possible actions to create a relationship of &#8220;care&#8221; with the trees in one&#8217;s neighborhood. In Paris, the &#8220;V\u00e9g\u00e9talisons Paris&#8221; initiative, launched by the City Council, allows any citizen of legal age to garden in the street via a vegetation permit. This is also a way to get closer to the trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2c791b5988&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2c791b5988\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"560\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"48080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/000051970027-1-845x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/000051970027-1-845x560.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/000051970027-1-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/000051970027-1-2048x1358.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/000051970027-1-100x66.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2c791b5d6a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2c791b5d6a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"51292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image_processing20220510-28764-txcv0w.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image_processing20220510-28764-txcv0w.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thenatureofcities.com\/TNOC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image_processing20220510-28764-txcv0w-100x63.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption>Square Montholon, Paris 9\u00e8me. \u00a9Cl\u00e9ment Dorval<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> Je continue mes promenades quotidiennes, comme si j\u2019\u00e9tais en for\u00eat, \u00e0 observer les arbres urbains et \u00e0 essayer de deviner leur nom et leur ressenti.<\/p><p><em>I continue my daily walks, as if I were in the forest, observing the urban trees and trying to guess their names and feelings.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">l&#8217;atelier en ville<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\">Rapidement, j&#8217;installe un atelier chez moi.

Painted all in white, I welcome all the leaves, branches, stones and other gleaned elements from the streets and gardens, in the middle of pigments and papers. I collect the leaves of the trees on my street, and my hypnotic work manifests itself in new compositions. I celebrate my street having just been greened, like many spaces in the neighborhood, witnessing the progressive greening of one of the least green neighborhoods in the capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">At the same time, a young gallery L&#8217;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierbergere.com\" target=\"_blank\">Atelier Berg\u00e8re<\/a> opens in my street, where I exhibit my work in situ, as well as at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/galerie.marie-robin.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">Galerie Marie-Robin<\/a> in the nearby Marais district. I start to get invited to do art shows with a participatory lens, time for me to get the &#8220;matriarcal art&#8221; influence speak by making art pieces that mixes a strong aesthetic symbolising the local flora with real life issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex

Patterns chosen were those of the bay&#8217;s rushes, the elegant golden rod, the tracks left by horseshoe crabs on the beach during their mating season, the shapes of migratory birds, and more. These works were a small part of the restoration of these vegetable gardens following the terrible Hurricane Sandy that devastated the neighbourhood.

Il \u00e9tait question de relier le mus\u00e9e \u00e0 un verger voisin abandonn\u00e9 en vue d&#8217;en prendre soin sur le long terme. Pour cette performance nous avons imagin\u00e9 des v\u00eatements, \u00e9charpes en tissu brut peint avec du brou de noix et des r\u00e9serves \u00e0 la cire.

The idea was to connect the museum to a nearby abandoned orchard in order to take care of it long term. For this performance we imagined clothes, scarves in raw fabric painted with walnut stain using wax reserves. The painted forms were inspired by the forms of the branches of the trees of the orchard, mainly apple trees, pear trees and cherry trees. The performance of &#8220;connection&#8221; took the form of a walk between the two spaces &#8211; museum and orchard &#8211; adorned by the motifs of the trees. The walk was introduced by meditation and punctuated by readings. On site we proceeded to the pruning of the fruit trees with two agents of the green spaces of the city who came to train us. The shapes painted on fabric accompanied this ritual of care, and everyone could keep them as a trace of this moment and costume for future actions in the orchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-20 is-layout-flex

Cette petit mare a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 au centre d&#8217;un ancien verger. La r\u00e9gion \u00e9tant r\u00e9put\u00e9e pour la qualit\u00e9 de son argile depuis des si\u00e8cles, nous en avons tapisser le sol pour l&#8217;imperm\u00e9abiliser. En fait, de nombreuses mares de la r\u00e9gion \u00e9taient enfaite d&#8217;anciens trous d&#8217;extraction pour les usines de briques ou de tuiles. L&#8217;installation artistique se composait \u00e9galement de bancs peints et d&#8217;\u00e9l\u00e9ments en bois, terre cuite et \u00e9maux de la r\u00e9gion (terre de Puisaye et Treigny). Ces trois bancs en c\u00e9ramique sont des &#8220;tableaux&#8221; peints avec des motifs de diff\u00e9rents saules, accompagn\u00e9s de six petits \u00e9l\u00e9ments en c\u00e9ramique qui servent de &#8220;pierres&#8221; artificielles sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l&#8217;\u00e9tang pour que les grenouilles et les insectes puissent s&#8217;y reposer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#a54a35\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">This experience was followed by another art project in an orchard, more recently in Burgundy, France, at the invitation of a local environmental association. This association, called <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/lerubanvert.net\" target=\"_blank\">le Ruban Vert<\/a>, literally &#8220;the green ruban&#8221;, is committed to strengthening a green corridor for local biodiversity along which it maintains numerous water access points. When they reached out to me to participate in their first Land Art festival, I proposed that we create together a new pond as part of my artistic intervention. This little pond was created in the centre of an old orchard. The region being famous for its clay quality since centuries we used it to imperialise the soil. In fact many actual ponds in the region were former extraction holes for brick or tiles factories. The installation was also composed of painted benches and elements made of wood, terracotta and enamels from the region (earth from Puisaye and Treigny). The three ceramic benches are like &#8220;paintings&#8221; painted with motifs of various willow trees, accompanied by six small ceramic elements to serve as artificial &#8220;stones&#8221; on the side of the pond for frogs and insects to rest on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

dans la satisfaction simultan\u00e9e des besoins humains et non-humains.&nbsp;Cette recherche se fait \u00e0 t\u00e2tons, tr\u00e8s progressivement, guid\u00e9e par le sentiment profond qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;essayer de r\u00e9concilier des images \u00e9manant de l&#8217;environnement directe et pratiques qui l&#8217;honore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\"

This research is done by trial and error, very gradually, guided by the deep feeling that it is a question of trying to reconcile images emanating from the direct environment and practices that honour it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5f1909\">Thank you for diving into this research here with me, and thanks to those who made this publication possible.

You premise this exhibition on the RWK quote about knowledge being resident in the land. Like so many urbanites, I could not fathom this years ago. Of course I could not. Cities seem to have so little &#8216;nature&#8217; where we can look to for knowledge. However, through your story and work, you remind us that this nature (and these answers) are indeed all around us. I agree that the most deeply moving and impressive art comes in various ways from this &#8216;nature knowledge&#8217;. Art of this caliber reminds us that perhaps we already have all the answers, we just need to look deeper, slower, and linger a bit longer to find them. Now I am wishing to visit Fontainebleau again!
