From material to immaterial

The ‘’Serpentine’’ collection is mainly composed of spun paper spirals. The ancestral technique of the spinning used makes it possible to turn the paper into a fine and continuous cord by stretching and twisting. The paper cut into narrow ribbons is rolled up on itself; the twist is done by hand until  a strong and regular strand is obtained. The wire obtained, wound again on itself, forms coils. The serpentine thus modeled is then mounted on supports in poplar wood, painted and varnished.

With this "material", I let my mind wander over a fragment of canvas. I like to start from nothing, from little, to go towards the many, towards the immense. I imagine stellar serpentines evolving among the stars, in an extragalactic universe, among a deposit of other milky ways, where spiral nebulae intermingle in an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
