How did it start? Chritsmas and its agenda of craft fairs was approaching... A nice invitation from CRAFT REACTOR Collective to be part of their fair, combined to the absence of determined bespoke projects in my own agenda, took me unexpectedly to create some "items". An intricated mix of random and clear visions, a taste for experimentation, an exploration of new territories, the use of the offcuts, and simply keep myself active in a financially critical period. There was all of this.

De quoi est-ce parti? A l'approche de Noël et ses "Craft fairs" au caractère bien britannique, une sympathique invitation du Collectif Craft Reactor se superposait à un carnet de commande vide. S'est mis en place un mélange de sentiments qui m'ont amenée à produire des pièces. Mélange de hasard et de visions bien précises. Il y avait là-dedans le goût de l'expérimentation, de l'aventure non conquérante, de transformer un stock de chutes, et simplement de ne pas tourner en rond dans cette période financièrement difficile!!

Oct.2010 - A pencil case


 

This box simply emerged from a chunk of sycamore like a fish from the seafoam.. The single constraint was to fit the pencil sharpener in a convenient spot..
