Exhibition “April, don’t shed a stitch”

"She was an embroiderer of trousseaux: colored initials on the linens of future brides and grooms. Beside her, the little girl I was played with these marvels, clumsily trying her hand at a few stitches. When I recently inherited her sewing box, the famous "worker's box," filled with threads of all kinds (multicolored cottons, but also humble wools and silks for darning socks), I felt the urge to rediscover the feminine gestures that had illuminated my childhood to enrich my ongoing collages. The images supporting this series come from an old educational book about trees. I thus very intuitively developed the metaphor of roots and memory. Presentation and discussion about the exhibition: Friday, April 3 at 6:30 pm
