Artist Statement

I have transposed my vision of eco designer about using the old to make the new, to combine it with a craft and create a new narrative

I like to show that a creative can be light on the planet  without adding pollution using toxic substances or new material for that purpose.

Here, I have used vintage bed sheets and the craft of embroidery, I like to use low tech’ (versus high tech), my hands and a precious raw material called TIME to create art works. The large amount of time put into the work is a form of worship.

Naughty Series

Woman’s Pleasure

This series of embroideries on linen bed sheets is the fruit of a man and a woman meeting on Tinder and starting a chat conversation on WhatsApp (fig.5). It arouses desire and pleasure in both of them. This leads the woman (the artist.) to transcend her libido into a work of embroidery and give birth to the series: Woman’s Pleasure.

Embroidery, an ancestral feminine tradition replayed:

"Apparently ornamental and harmless……I transcend this art of the "housewife" by excellence, by giving it a free discourse, in strong contact with raw reality". With needlework, I escape and become shameless and rebel," says Gélébart.

The woman’s sensual pleasure seen from the eyes of a woman or how to show it, implicit or erotic, with a craft that is truly hers.
