Through the series of 7 woven artworks entitled HORIZONS, I wanted to deliver my vision of summer, calm and meditative.
Summer is the best moment to contemplate sea, sunsets, natural landscapes… I used to take pictures of those landscapes and then I retouched some pics with gouache painting in order to add new shades of colors. I created the Horizons series by mixing techniques, going back and forth between photography, painting and image editing.
After a nice collaboration on my Blue Landscape project with the Living Heritage Company Tissage Moutet, we collaborated once again in the textile manufacture of these 7 landscapes. Through a complex process, the 7 designs were traduced in jacquard weaving. We had to find all the colours shades in the cotton threads ; it was a long and meticulous color research work.
The 7 Horizons were exhibited for the first time at the Regina Hotel MGallery in Biarritz during the summer of 2020.
