Brussels-based visual artist and scenographer, I have been developing my wallpaper brand Tenue de Ville for over ten years. In 2019, an ecological reflection led me to revalue my wallpaper offcuts as a primary material. This approach brought me back to experimentation and to learning traditional crafts such as weaving and ceramics. Textile plays a central role in my research: I weave strips of naturally dyed wallpaper in a dialogue between contemporary reuse and Belgian textile heritage. My works are often accompanied by sculptural forms in wood or clay, evoking the memory of the gesture and artisanal traditions. My practice thus unfolds at the intersection of sustainability, transmission, and contemporary creation.
