For Melusina

Description

'For Melusina' is a series of cerimonial mantles, shields and masks for a pagan figure: my Melusina is a hobo queen. Always working between destruction and reconstruction, playing with chance associations and found objects, the format of the mantle refers, in my poetic universe, to femininity, and follows Joseph Beuys tradition, described in Paul Ardennes's words: "Forme proph�©tique de l'expression artistique renouant par-del�  les si�¨cles, avec la plus ancienne tradition de l'enthousiasme, avec la po�©sie originelle: celle, chamanique, h�©siodique, des hommes faisant parler les dieux", [Goldberg, Itzhak, Installations, (CNRS Editions, Paris, 2014), 230].

At the crossroads of assemblage art, object and painting, in this series I incorporate heterodox elements�from recycled materials to natural elements, usually considered mundane, in association with art. These objects become assemblages through transformation and bricolage.
