A French multi and transdisciplinary artist, I live and work in the north of France where I’ve been a tattoo artist specialised in the hand poke technique for 6 years. I use any medium that can give meaning to my ideas. This has lead me to produce sculptural projects, photos, videos, collages, and even sound pieces or performances. My work gravitates around the concepts of animality, cycles and repetition, as well as the memory and relationships to Time. I also enjoy collaborative projects, such as urban collages and was part of a films about Icelandic ghosts. Lately setting-up electroacoustic performances mixing human skin and music, illustration of contemporary poems , writing short films, or even compositions of music in situ. A jack of all trades in creation, I am excited by projects that take me out of my comfort zones.
