As in a ballet, one would like to dance with the ciphers, or understand the pattern as the choreography of this very ballet.
Chemins de l'être - the paths of being - are a varied series of works in which things scurry and crawl. Animals? People? Or are they microorganisms? There are no limits to the imagination.
Champ du Feu, ink, Japanese paper, fire, 80x60 cm, 2002
The assumption that the artist was inspired by Far Eastern calligraphy is justified. She sees her "grammar of signs" as a "western variation" of Japanese and Chinese calligraphy.
The aim with which she uses it is also clearly outlined: "Black is a universe with different nuances, it is discreet, it is the color of writing."
