Project for a book of drawings and poems, 14.5 x 21 cm, 170 pages. Collaboration with Thierry Bodson. 2018-22.

Des Champs des puits is born from the interaction between my Minimal drawings project and the poetry of Thierry Bodson. At the heart of this encounter is the word and its ability to pierce into the soul as well as to entail matter. The Minimal drawings record the echoes of the near and far world, serious and light. Using mixed media techniques, they are made on small cards on which notes are taken; up to date Minimal drawings is composed by more than a thousand drawings.

Thierry Bodson has laid down words regarding thirty of them. His texts were in turn taken into new graphics works. The dialogue between my drawings and his poetry have engendered constellations of drawings-poems which alter through successive translations and transformations.
