Mégier is a set of leather pieces that allude to work clothing (like the blacksmith’s apron, the blouse) and agricultural equipment (like the tarpaulin, the fly rugs for horses, the bucket, the yoke). These are semi-useful objects, intended to find a later or fantasised activation. The title come from the Latin medicare, whih means to treat, in old French.

Mégier is produced in collaboration with the Centre d’art Le Lait in Albi, La Fabrique and Graulhet le Cuir in Grauhlet, France.
