Lately, I've been working on a series of suspended object-paintings halfway between architectural ornament and painting. These seemingly vitrified floral bouquets were created in collaboration with a jeweller (Marie-Maude Brunet @marmojewelry, the silver brackets and hanging device). In this way, I hope to give weight and permanence to techniques neglected by women in the history of art and culture: " her cut-outs of flowers create permanence in the ephemeral, [...] alluding to the feminine ritual of gardening and drying flowers and herbs. [...] The sign is clear (a bouquet of flowers), while the signified is numerous: friendship between women, traditions that are passed on between generations, the act of caring for living objects, the cultural history of gardens." (Dooley, 2023).
