Stephanie Cahorel

Stephanie Cahorel's earthenware pins create a gallery of black and white images in a joyful « cabinet de curiosités » spirit. Drawings figuring an eye, a boy with a hoop, a bird come from botanical and anatomical illustrations, old fashion prints that she gathers along her trips and her encounters. Thanks to her hand maid technique of lithographic imprinting, she transfers her motifs on the earthenware clay, and then is mounted into a pin. This monochromatic world from another time mixes nostalgie of the past, with a sense of a poetic and shifted humour.
