ABOUT

Carpenter by profession, I learned how to shape and machine construction materials and have anderstood that building strong frames requires a rigorous approach. My concerns focus on the new implications my expertise has on my art. Therefore my skills are developing with a new perspective on the materials I use.
Furthermore, my approach attempts to transform the definition of the words ‘profitable’ and ‘functional’.

My work explores objects, how they work and the different ways to use them. I have my own definition of object. I ‘’objecticise’’ all things concrete, material, and perceptible : objects, furniture, spaces or devices that I isolate and appropriate.
I question their function and utility in order to recreate them according to the principles of diversion, exaggeration, or even elimination. I’m interested in the actions that generate these new objects. I try to generate an action from the viewer to fully integrate into the space so that they perceive the meaning of the work and its opposite.
