Au fil des paysages / Threads of Landscape

Cotton and polyester thread on cotton canvas

2017-present

I am fascinated by the colours of winter in Canada and the Ontario Lakeshore. I enjoy looking at the sky through the networks of naked branches, snowy white landscapes of trees extending into the horizon create a rhythm of black threads. Blurring the lines between figurative and abstract, this project is inspired by monochrome landscapes and developed through a technical experimentation on embroidery. This minimal process becomes more complex through the rhythms and cadences of the stitches and reveals a whole range of nuances in order to capture the visual poetry, the peace and the serenity that landscapes bring me.
