Stéphanie Poincloux, paper artist.
This is a work about memory. My pieces, with their rough layers, are inspired by time, infinity, and cycles.
They impose their presence and resonance through the traces left by living things on inert elements. They become surviving transmitters, endless reminiscences.
It is a movement in an echo of time that awakens from the accumulation of the useless.
I explore recycled paper pulp combined with elements that have fallen into disuse – organic, manufactured, industrial – with a view to saving raw materials, an obvious choice inspired by peasant common sense.
I use lightly soiled domestic water, food binders, and natural pigments.
This is a conscious choice in my artistic practice.
I seek out old recipes, artisanal processes, and tips from the past, which I adapt to paper pulp. I expose it to the elements to discover how it decomposes outdoors.
Since 2025, I have been subjecting it to fire, combining it with charcoal and ash.
I am experimenting with its full plasticity.
