Workshops
Mediation & Sharing
For me, creation is not limited to a personal approach: it takes on its full meaning when it becomes sharing.
In the workshops I lead – with La Source Garouste or other organizations – mediation is a natural extension of my practice. It allows the creative process to become collective, opening up materials and elements to a shared experience.
To create is both to seek an inner language and to make it resonate with others; it is to weave a link between earth, fire and human beings, in the same impulse of attention to the world.
Towards the beginning of a journey
A living plant installation has been installed in the park of
The Garouste Spring - La Guéroulde
This project was carried out with teenagers at La Source Garouste - La Guéroulde this past summer, at the end of August. This 3-meter-long plant-covered boat is a living, permanent piece in the La Guéroulde park. The project allowed us to work with metal and welding, caning for the bamboo structure, and sewing with horticultural felt to cover the entire structure and create a support for the plants. We also began collecting plants around the Poultière park to discover local species and nourish our ark with the vegetation found there. This project was developed in collaboration with the La Guéroulde team, with whom I have worked for several years, taking into account their expectations and the target audience of teenagers.
Manger
This bird sanctuary project, inaugurated at the Les Charmes nursing home in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in early September 2025, allowed me to bring together four organizations to work simultaneously on a single large project: a community center with children, a nursing home with people with Alzheimer's, a specialized educational institute for autistic children, and individuals receiving social assistance. For me, this sanctuary is a success because it's a lasting work that transcends the shared experience. It also provided an opportunity to bring together diverse groups to collaborate on a large-scale project, something I hope to cultivate from now on in my work. This bird sanctuary combines ceramics, plant-based materials, and welding. It reaches a height of 2.5 meters at its highest point, enough to make everyone happy and proud to have contributed to such beauty and to the birds.
Gold diggers
a project conducted with La Source Garouste
Gold Seekers is the piece I created with the children of La Source during my residency in 2022. This installation was accompanied by a book compiling all the research sketches and the paths of inspiration that allowed the children to embrace this project, the stories they wrote based on the subject and the land. This mountain is both a sound bath activated by the wind and a secret door within each of us, transforming adversity into brilliance, the earth into gold.
This piece carries a technical, aesthetic, and poetic weight. Here, all the modeling is entrusted to the children, and it is the sum of their gestures that has allowed this vision to exist, through their hands, their stories, and their eyes.
I like this inaugural piece because it is a sign of mediation, of union, a collective work now available in the La Source Garouste park.
A room inside the world
a project carried out with La Source Garouste & ADAGP
From my residence in La Guéroulde, La Source Garouste regularly offers me workshops which result in the creation of collaborative works with children.
Beyond the incredible human enrichment of such encounters, it is also an opportunity for us artists to share our vision and creative process. This work, A Room Inside the World, is now, after an exhibition at the CENT-QUATRE in Paris, permanently installed in the school of the children who created it, in Verneuil-sur-Avre.
Each project is an opportunity for a new poetic journey through matter, into a new world.
I chose to present these pieces to you because they are large-scale works, linking ceramics to metal structures, techniques that I will continue to use in a more advanced way.
