Since my residency in collaboration with basket weavers, my work has evolved very rapidly. Learning other techniques such as weaving, or natural dyeing has enriched my approach. I like to explore other materials. Currently, I am trying to incorporate linen and other more local fibres, to be as environmentally-friendly as possible.

I was lucky enough to meet and be trained by Miki Nakamura and Jean-Michel Letellier, who have perfect mastery of the technique. They were a great influence. They are not just my teachers, they are my masters. We are in constant contact, and I often ask them for advice on technical details.

The serenity that making paper brings me. To succeed in making paper, you have to be present in your body and in your head, almost as if in a choreography. It is relaxing, somewhere between breathwork and meditation.

I speak here as an artist: I think the piece tells us when it is finished. At the same time, I think of paper as skin. It will take on wrinkles and stains, it will continue its life after us. A work is never really finished, just as we have never finished evolving and learning.
