" Marcus " (2020) Sculpture by Michèle Giraudo

I was born on June 17, 1983 in Vouziers in the Ardennes. Since 2004, I have lived in Niederstinzel in Moselle, where I also set up my workshop in 2020.

The common thread of my creation is ecology. My goal is to recycle objects or materials to generate as little waste as possible. It was in 2018 that I trained myself in the technique of papier-mâché. I give life to a bestiary, ranging from the hedgehog to the mouflon, all in a phantasmagorical, sometimes surreal spirit. I also approach a vegetable or purely dreamlike universe, declining the personalities of the mushroom or other creatures in a style between cabinet of curiosities and magic.

Always in an ecological approach , it is in 2019 that I approach the tableware mosaic called: " picnic ". I have created a partnership with the Emmaüs center closest to my home, in order to give new life to unsold and sometimes unsaleable crockery.

In 2021, it seems obvious to me to combine my two arts by creating my first sculptures in mosaic dishes, with papier-mâché as a support.

Inspiring myself of ancestral know-how, my work therefore explores a universe that is technical, creative and recreational.
