La chambre des sources
Or the idea of making a pact with the nature of things...
Drawing is a practice that requires the abandonment of the hand in favour of the tracing
intentions. From this stems designs that are the fruit of a mastery of associations
associations, formal links revealing a leaping hare, a hand with slender fingers
here a hand with slender fingers, or these two hands holding a dowsing rod...
Violaine Laveaux, as a shaman artist, masters the picking of roses which she makes her own to create her intimate visions with the delicacy of a seamstress.
In the "room of sources", on the walls, the plant works activate the space
the space like talismans.
In the room with a view, the artist has set up two Easter tables on which the
on which are accumulated the elements of a scattered memory, the words of which
reminiscent of George Pérec's literature: wolf's head, glove, raven, chayote,
magnolia button, sandals, found objects...metamorphosed into artefacts of
artifacts of spells.
In these shady times, Violaine Laveaux's approach takes us by the hand into an enchanted
in an enchanted skein that heals our intimate wounds.
