For a few weeks I haven’t written anything here. Without doubt I had to digest my exhibition, get back to work. And then I reintegrated my studio where I settled for the summer.

Today I want to talk about a strange collage that required only minimal manipulation. Normally, my collages are the result of many interventions that seek to push the image to its culmination, in the manner of a large canvas, eg. in the no. 182


But here, it was obvious from the beginning: that portion of a baby elephant made a head that fitted exactly the large double page in front of me. Adding another head and choose the location of the hand with sharp nails was fast. And voila! One of my biggest collages was born! And what about this picture? Above all that I was probably not loved by my mother in the manner of the scene depicted here. I have no recollection of such an act, but a caress with the back of the hand on my cheek "because it was more hygienic (so) ...". And also how I felt during part of my adolescence (when pictures from this time show me in a rather flattering look) without this tender look that beautifies the one that is looked on. Fortunately I have experienced loving glances later, but there is a lack, a dissatisfaction.


 

Cela fait quelques semaines que je n’ai rien écrit. Sans doute ai-je dû digérer mon expo, me remettre au travail. Et puis, j’ai retrouvé mon atelier où je me suis installé pour l’été. Aujourd’hui, j’aimerais parler d’un étrange collage qui n’a nécessité que peu de manipulations. Normalement, mes collages sont le fruit de nombreuses interventions qui cherchent à pousser l’image à son aboutissement, à la manière d’une grande toile, comme par ex. dans le no. 182.  Mais ici, cela a été une évidence dès le début : cette partie d’un bébé éléphant faisait une tête qui correspondait exactement à la grande double page qui se trouvait devant moi.  Ajouter l’autre tête et choisir l’emplacement de la main aux ongles pointus a été rapide. Et voilà ! Un de mes plus grands collages était né ! Et que dire de cette image ? Avant tout que je n’étais sans doute pas aimé par ma mère comme la scène figurée ici. Je n’ai pas le souvenir d’un tel geste, mais plutôt d’une caresse d’un revers de main sur ma joue  « parce que c’était plus hygiénique (ainsi)… ». Et aussi comment je me suis senti pendant une partie de mon adolescence (alors que les photos de cette époque me montrent sous un aspect plutôt flatteur), sans ce regard tendre qui embellit celui qui est regardé ainsi. Heureusement que j’ai expérimenté des regards aussi aimants par la suite, mais il reste un manque, un inassouvissement.
