Thanks to my wedding with my husband who’s born in Transylvania, I discovered some embroidered handmade pieces with a lot of embroideries points which had an authentic beauty.
Motivated by a pulsion which push me to try this techniques of embroidery, and fead by my creative instinct, I made it my job. This is a tourning point in my life and in my professional life as well.
I traveled 3 or 4 times by year in order to meet the old women in the place where they are living to be initiate and learn how to embroider this unique embroideries.
Passionated, I learned their language to communicate with them better and also impregnate myself with their gestures and their way of living… Needle’s embroidery, their knowledge.
This exceptional relations when the old women while they were embroidering, told me how this was important for her and for their lifes, touched me in my heart and in my soul.
This embroidered handmade pieces represented tableclothes of all sizes. They are all embroidered and made with a thread of inflexible and beige cotton.
By hijacking the handmade embroidery from their first function, through a process of constant research and creation, it drive me to create another innovative and contemporary « language ».
My objective is to underline the importance of this emborideries’ techniques in a modern context without forgetting the past. Each of this embroidery’s points had his own signification… that I try to treat by and through my work.
