Here are some of my achievements.
I glean the wooden sides, the steps, the handrails of old Rennes which are discarded.
I pick them up, find them in a new form, clean them, polish them up and paint them with my own pigments - linseed oil, a drying agent and turpentine.
I try to keep as much as possible the stigma brought by time (nails, holes, cracks, patina of use ..)
I value them so that they are more beautiful and more valuable to why they were originally designed to give them a second life as a work of art.
The concept is that of the construction site: "construction, demolition, reappropriation.
My approach does not stop there. because beyond the artistic side it is also educational and therapeutic. What I care about most is to be able to transcribe this practice to a public in great difficulty. (Out of school or borderline children, foreign minor children, childhood in danger, order 45 ...)
I am convinced that through the wandering and research in the heart of the city and on the sites of old timber, a dialogue and a story is formed with the user.
And that this one by taking knowledge of the territory, of its history and by putting beautiful in his life can begin to do a work on oneself and to regain confidence in its abilities of resilience and adaptation.
