At the beginning, there is the myth about Palissy legend, a small oil painting and molehills in a cemetery. White objects, a boat, sheets, plaster, coated canvas, frames and fruit alcohol. Then hours of harvesting for nettles, brambles, broom, dock, onion skins, sawdust, gall nuts, laurel, clay, cedar, plum blossoms, wine lees. Collecting oyster shells, bones, teeth, shells, finding fossils in the Bastide. Extracting colours by boiling the material, one bowl after another and moulding, cutting, painting, sewing, printing. One thing leading to the next, I connect the dots to give substance to the drawing; making the snake appear on the island.
