Graduated in art history, Aude Franjou trained in tapestry at the Duperr\u00e9 School of Applied Arts. Since then, she has sought to replicate the principles of plant structure through her chosen material. Curves, roots, vines, or coral are the foundations of her inspiration. From tapestry, Aude Franjou has retained only the gesture. Gradually, the need to create in volume became essential.<\/p>\n

It was the desire for repetition that led her work toward modular composition\u2014a single starting point, a single form that unfolds endlessly, animated by its own principles of replication and evolution. The choice of thread as a medium was decisive. Today, it is linen that Aude Franjou has chosen to use in her creations, due to its formal versatility. The sculptures she creates are born from wrapping raw flax fibers with thread spun from the same material. The linen thread encircles each parcel of fiber a hundred times. The tension produced by the thread holds the fibers together and creates a petrified material. Color is the final touch. It arrives as a revelation of volume, like a signature.<\/p>\n

The strength of Aude Franjou\u2019s work lies in embodying a living principle\u2014a slow, silent, yet powerful and inevitable growth, the triumph of living matter over the inert. This is why she likes to exhibit her sculptures in both urban and natural environments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
