of relics &
of coveted objects

A catalog of things we no longer look at. Each object is taken out of use, shaped by hand, and then stored here under a number.

Tiles covered with handwriting, a pink pencil, and a tulip
Freed from their original purpose, they are transformed into sculptures—strange and fragile objects.
01 / The Approach

Objects come and go. Desire leaves a mark.

I transform objects we covet into fragile presences. Shoes, flowers, and fragments of everyday life make up a collection where desire meets memory.

walk → contain · offer → no longer wither · illuminate → keep watch
02 / The Artist

I give objects that people covet a new lease on life.

I am a painter and ceramic artist living and working in the Dordogne. My work explores the connections between objects, desire, and memory: what draws us in, what we hold onto, and those ordinary things that eventually come to carry a part of our history.

From Painting to Sculpture

Painting expands the scope: motifs move from canvas to sculpture, from image to presence.

A work of art, an encounter. An idea waiting to be born.
