About kids talking about the monsters hidden under their beds at night.

THE FORT (2011)
About kids constructing a fort for the fairies with twigs and pine cones and how it gets destroyed several times and several times re-constructed.

TELL ME SOMETHING YOU REMEMBER (2010)
About the making of a drawing.

THE MAP (2010)
About a boy describing a piece of circuit board like it is the map of where he lives.

THE HOUSE-PURSE (2008)
About the transformation by a little boy of recycled material into a house which eventually becomes a purse.

Today I sent 4 envelopes to the Brooklyn Art Library and I should get four 4×6″ artworks in exchange – from artists participating in the project – that the Brooklyn Art Library will send to me. I was supposed to send a 4×6″ artwork in an envelope but I sent some mail art with an envelope [for the artwork in return] inside each envelope. We’ll see if this works!

The 4×6 Exchange project 2 is a project created by The House Co-op / Brooklyn Art Library.

9 collages on envelopes

Today I’ve sent 9 envelopes (9×12″ – 23x31cm) to the French nonprofit organization “Une vie un Arbre” which organizes each year an exhibition of mail art: “Festival d’Art Postal” in Vienne, France. The envelopes are for sale and the money goes to help children who are very ill.
The series I have sent is made of torn pieces of tissue paper and origami paper.

My friends Eric Meyer and Ivan Sigg have sent envelopes that you can see on their blogs. They will be special guests and present at the exhibition in Vienne, along with Christiane Berti, Sylvie Graindorge, Agnès Lachard, Evelyne Lanno, Eni Looka, Mariette.

More information about the association here (in French).

Timeline Notes

Timeline Notes is an ongoing series of two minute videos about photographic notes I am taking every day with my cell phone: family, friends, landscapes, exhibitions I see, moments at home, in the car. Through the process of transforming the photos, I am getting closer to the idea I have of the memories layering through time in my mind: almost unrecognizable and abstract.
