Place of Anne-Françoise Jadin
My approach is based on an encounter: that of a medium, paper: kraft paper, rice paper, tea paper and a source of inspiration, literature capable of generating emotions and deploying the imagination. These singular papers are the terrain of my "reading impressions".
Paper: Kraft paper, like rice paper, has wrinkles. He crumples up. I paint it, often tear it, glue it, maroufle it to reconstitute my mental images, in small or large formats. The interest of tea paper lies in its apparent fragility, its tears, its singular traces. Its small format makes it suitable for being multiplied, deployed in a sequence that can unfold the subject endlessly.
Impressions of reading: I work on the edge. Ink, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, thread, the means are multiple. It is a mesh, sometimes spontaneous, sometimes reflective, that links my papers to my reading.
