Welcome to my new website.... I am not an expert in technology so this is a simple site that I will keep building as much as possible... I am leading a very nomadic life which has been one of the causes my records, slides and documents are a little scattered around the world and still spreading in fact.... it happened before the advent of the web or more exactly before my tuning in to the new technologies...

I am a multi media artist, without a formal training but inspired by places, people, ideas that I encounter along my travels and long stays. Although I started with photography, my work moved quickly to 3D works, installation type exhibitons of my photos and more interactive shows. I spent some time in the Australian desert and then in Thailand working with the magic of natural Indigo. My work as well as being inspired by the place I live in, is also to a great extend conditionned by my environement, the availbility of space, materials and personal finances. Instead of considering those elements as restricting, I see them as part of the work process and often the limitations become the inspiration. I am happy to work with different media, and explore new ideas and ways to express myself in the new context. I particuarly enjoy inter-active installations , where I set the frame work of the exhibition but the whole concept is realised with the participation of the viewers. I also found that people enjoyed and were keen to express themselves and to be given a space to do so .

I hope this site gives you an idea of the work. I still canot not upload a video but I hope I will in the future as well as retrieve and scan some more image.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the site and hope you have some fun
