The "Endless Drawings" are inspired by the repetitive gestures that characterize human desire to organize elements. Ropes, knits and fabrics are drawn, thread-by-thread, and undergo erosive transformations. They propose a long corridor of drawn paper that offers two distinct presentation layouts. The first, by suspension, underlines the repetitive aspect of the drawn network, which unfolds vertically. The second presents the paper rolled onto itself, highlighting its three-dimensional structure. The composition is a cylindrical column that proposes a dialogue between its volume and its graphic qualities. The part of the surface veiled by the opacity of the support, thus recalls the labyrinth and blind perspective, both symbols of Life’s Journey.
