From my defunct desk to an IKEA box.

After the 3000th collage posted on my site, I continue to make collages, thank you V. who sent me a bouquet of flowers to celebrate the event. Having removed my tablet on which I have made so many collages, I have been working at my IKEA portable desk today, temporarily installed on two chairs, but it will from now be put away each time vertically, once the daily collage(s) achieved. Indeed, the place to store it flat is missing. And it is far too heavy (20kg) for the storage on a cabinet. So, no more unglued collage lying loosely on my desk, with scattered stacks of magazines around. As of today, to begin work, I have to find a small stack of magazines in a rack, then place it near my new working space. With a disciplined organization, although minimalist, I managed anyway to make a nice collage. But next week, no question of the "box" placed permanently on a table -unless I succeed in the future to squat the dining-room table...
What's funny is that when I moved into this apartment of 65m2, I took a whole room as a studio, then, over the years, my space was gradually reduced until this box of 120x60cm. It is true that collage as I practice it does not require much space, that of an illuminator monk or so, I guess. My computer, with its scanner, printer and external hard drives demand more. But it's for a good cause: to finally have a dining room where we can receive family and friends instead of squeezing them into the kitchen. This is the choice we made together, my wife and me. To summarize, I would say that this change leaves me a little worried, with a twisted stomach, but I intend to continue my work ...no matter what.

Après le 3000e collage publié sur mon site, je continue à coller, merci à V. qui m’a envoyé un bouquet de fleurs pour célébrer l’évènement. Ayant démonté ma tablette sur laquelle j’ai tant collé, je travaille depuis aujourd’hui à mon bureau portatif IKEA, posé provisoirement sur deux chaises, mais il faudra dorénavant chaque fois le ranger verticalement, une fois le(s) collage(s) fait, la place manquant pour le ranger à plat. Et il est bien trop lourd (20kg) pour le hisser sur une armoire. Donc, plus de collage non collé traînant sur mon bureau, ni des piles de magazines éparpillés. Depuis aujourd’hui, pour commencer à travailler, je dois chercher une petite pile de magazines dans une étagère, puis la poser près de mon nouveau bureau. Grâce à une organisation rigoureuse, quoique minimaliste, j’ai quand-même réussi à faire un collage réussi. Mais la semaine prochaine, plus question de laisser la « boîte » posée en permanence sur une table – à moins que je réussisse à squatter la future salle-à-manger…
Ce qui est drôle c’est que quand j’ai emménagé dans cet appartement de 65m2, j’ai réservé une pièce comme atelier, puis, au fil des années, mon espace s’est progressivement réduit, jusqu’à cette boîte de 120x60cm. Il est vrai que le collage comme je le pratique ne demande pas beaucoup de place, celle d’un moine enlumineur à peu près, je suppose. Mon ordinateur, avec son scanner, son imprimante et ses disques durs externes en demande bien davantage. Mais c’est pour la bonne cause : avoir enfin une salle à manger où nous pourrons recevoir la famille et les amis au lieu de les coincer dans la cuisine. C’est le choix que nous avons fait ensemble, ma femme et moi. Pour résumer, je dirais, que ce changement me laisse un peu inquiet, mais j’ai la ferme intention de poursuivre mon travail… coûte que coûte.
