"These are the pieces of an immense puzzle, which constitute a kind of intimate, incomprehensible and baroque constellation. An ode to the life that runs and I like to share it, one is less alone in this reciprocal intimacy.
I never know what I'm going to do with the task, it's here and now.
I let the reverie invade me, I let myself go and it is very pleasant.
Everything but a job, a moment of oneself, out of all daily constraints, slow, deep breathing.
A game too, light, air of nothing.
Once considered finished, no final judgment, just a finding.
It is sometimes more or less successful graphically, but it is not primordial, although I like it to be at least pretty.
Yes, at least pretty, because, in fact, it is very subversive the pretty today.
All born of chaos, chance, accident, unexpected.
Each piece of the puzzle has its own autonomy and reason more or less with all the others.
A little music exists.
It is a nonlinear poetic path, it is in time and space that it happens.
There are plenty of holes and voids.
To share them, I prefer them to be in books only on the walls,
often framed they do not quite tell what I like.
They are too fragile plastically, too small, you have to be able to read them, hear them and not just see them. "
