GUILLAUME Anne, Monotype, guest artist, Jardins invisbles

My work is the result of an artistic journey based on the controlled transformation of plant materials. This process includes a phase of decomposition that I deliberately incorporate into my creative process—an approach I have been developing for over 20 years.
Here, transformation serves as a plastic, aesthetic, and conceptual tool. Unlike conceptual works based on the replacement or activation of a perishable element, this piece is part of an empirical approach that involves accompanying it through its transformation until it reaches a point of equilibrium.
Each piece is unique and the result of a mysterious alchemy.
Here, nature evolves at its own pace according to the seasons and humidity levels, shaping the leaf into a thousand patterns, lines, curves, and multiple forms.
An epiphenomenon of matter, the body, the micro- and macrocosm, space, and time. The invisible becomes visible through a leaf, through living matter.
