About Me

I'm a French girl from Limoges. I'm working as an artist with a collective call .748.
Before studying in art school, my personal culture came from the "underground" and especially urban practices. I'm inspired by the confrontation of different temporalities of the artistic creations and media cultures.
My plastic work revolves around notion of movement, between process and trace, I try to transcribe matter in motion, in a sort of fugitive aesthetic. I work with multiple mediums like perform drawing, photography, video, sound, ceramics and publishing,
I like to ride, roller skate & motorbike etc
I love music and I work in a local radio. I share indie music and I made sounds creations and reports. I create cultural events too.
I love to travel, mostly for working with local culture. I already go in Asia (China, India, Nepal) and Africa (Senegal, Morocco) and Europe of course.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interest to do artistic residencies all over the world. I love to travel and I want to explore countries but not in usual touristic ways. I would like to meet peoples who leave in the place where I go. As a young artist I don't have lot of money so I search to get economic travel. I hope to share cultural stuff with my host.
