Everywhere, traces mark the foreshore and my mind. To the imprints of the waves on the shores, I add those of my catches on the paper. By line or spearfishing, I catch fish and mollusks, soaking up their natural beauty. Once back, I make sure to find the perfect arrangement for their fins, spines, or tentacles. The movement of life must never cease. Then comes the time for pigments: I invent on these bodies the trace that I want to see born. Each part of the animal is a space for interpretation, for playing on texture, dilution, definition. To transmit or make disappear, to erase the material or to inscribe its absence: I make new reliefs emerge through the print, an outdated form of each creature. Finally, I place a thin sheet of mulberry paper on the animal: under the variations of my touch the imprint appears. Often, my brushes linger on the paper, chiseling the trace one last time. As a final gesture, I affix my stamp in red ink as a signature. I think of my work as a total practice: I conceive the work from the ocean to the paper.🐟.
