Virginie Bécourt

Textiles is a material that life has constantly put on the way to Virginie Bécourt. Very small, she embroidered on cardboard, looked at her mother, her older sister embroidery, sewing ... from this family food was certainly born her textile curiosity which she did not stop exploring self -taught. In her first life, Virginie Bécourt was an educator in a pediatric hospital. When she wanted to change jobs, her meetings and her research has brought her to the obviousness of textile creation. Little by little, the appropriation of techniques allowed him to divert them according to his needs and his desires. To weave your own universe and to enter into sculpture. The freedom to work instinctively, to be inspired and carried by matter, feelings are fundamental in its practice. Her work is done in connection with what she lives. His daily influences lead him to each sculpture as a resonance. It is a body-to-body with matter, a time of intimacy between it and the textiles. It is to go and find in the depths of oneself in the folds and the folds. This emotional sensitivity is part of his palette. Virginie Bécourt likes the idea of ​​creating a microcosm in which you can walk and get lost. It is an invitation to a walk at the heart of the material that reflects imaginary landscapes.
