Blankets for the soul. I discovered an old cardboard box of carefully-folded children’s clothes, like so many piled-up memories. Theses Soul blankets evoked in me an indefinable feeling of dedicacy, mystery and light. The desire of eternity.

“Your soul blanket allows us to rebuild a world that respects our roots. Beyond language, your free-form images remind us of what we miss” Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret 2017

Installation :
- In the center, suspended in the void a  plant structure

Exhibition view

“Weathers of worlds – the Mesh of the real/1″
the thread of the spider to writing

Photographic study of a single spider’s web as a horizontal expanse

The photographs of arachnid webs re-transcribe the path of our own destinies. The silk allows us to dream and weave our own vision of the world in order for it to form and come into being, one day

“We weave our destiny, we draw it out of ourselves like a spider weaving its web”. J.F. Mauriac

“Dans cette installation plastique et photographique, l’artiste Anne-France Abillon utilise pour écriture, le fil de l’araignée et celui de la plante. Les dunes du littoral proches de son lieu de vie lui offrent l’Oyat ; dans une technique proche de celle du papier, elle désorganise la matière afin d’en libérer la fibre et suspend dans la chapelle la « toile » flottante ainsi tissée ; sur les murs, dans un accrochage linéaire, 16 photographies de nappes arachnéennes, volontairement épinglées au plus près du mur, re/transcrivent le chemin entre le divin et les hommes.” Dominique Delomez
