Les Oiseaux
A journey with wildlife veterinarian Marie-Pierre Puech as she works to heal injured or orphaned birds to release them back into the wild.
Minuet ~ le menuet
A workshop of mini artist books gave participants the opportunity to interweave visual sounds to create their own paper dance.
Metamorphosis
A fitting tribute to the humble silk worm and its interrupted life cycle at La Filature artist residency.
Les Fenêtres
A tribute to the shuttered windows of Lasalle and its colourful streetscape.
Le Travail
The work we do. I’ve been thinking of that today as I wove strips of photocopied posters advertising the silk industry which dominated the Cévennes up until fifty or so years ago.
Viva la Domestics!
Today was a day for tidying up in the studio. Tomorrow I will be joined by a choreographer from Portugal who I hope will bring another way of thinking through movement to this artist space.
Écoute
Today is le quatorze juillet, the 14th July. In Australia we call it Bastille Day (after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution) but in France it is referred to as la fête nationale (national day) and as such is a public holiday.
