The work of the artistic process is very singular. Indeed, Joëlle puts herself in a working condition and prepares herself for the artistic act for a long time. Music, sound and rhythm have a special place in her process. She systematically paints from above, so that the paper is lying on the floor and she can be free to move around. After setting up the tools and the paper and ink, she walks for a long time to the rhythm of the chosen sound loop (4 to 7 minute loops) which turns in a loop. To put her brain in a state of altered consciousness like the monks do. Then comes the creation, free of all consciousness, the search for the right gesture, the pure emotion that runs through her and that she transposes on the textile canvas or on the paper. The astonishment comes from the fact that she ends up cutting her own works by hand with a cutter without any rule. This too is a painstaking and unpleasant task, which also leads her to a certain meditation. The material is created a second time. After the cutting, all the papers are put together, mixed and then in a continuous dance put on the walls to create a large mural work which can be composed of several hundred drawings depending on the context. Each performance is unique and in dialogue with the site.
InProcess is a process that began naturally in 2019 with the Fields series, my first works in blue or green ink on paper. Then I transferred the technique I had acquired to square canvases of 100 x 100 cm. little by little my work went beyond the representation of landscape to a more suggestive representation. As time went by I developed my own tools, I recovered the scraps of balsa wood used in his architectural workshop to form rods of various dimensions which I used as a pushing tool. The gesture became a central concern. I then turn my supports in a horizontal position which allows me greater spatial freedom. Nothing is lost, everything is recycled, for my frescoes I cut large works of paper according to a precise pattern that I define and reuse the scraps then the scraps of the scraps I reassemble recompose my raw material is recycled.For a year I have undertaken the creation of my own inks with the plantation of indigotrees.
All *fresque are made for the specifique site of the exhibition or collector wall. Every fresque is unhique.And made for th context.
