Dialogue between literature and printmaking in Chantilly at the library

Updated: Aug 10

Report of a whirlwind month of October 2023 at the 17th Les Mots en l'Aire reading festival



Exhibition “Empreinte multiples et variations” of my linocut prints, poetic expression, talk, beginners workshops : there were many occasions to discover printmaking, and more particularly "relief" printmaking during the 2023 festival of reading at the Chantilly library. Thank you for your visit, your interest and your participation! Let's relive three highlights of a very busy month at the dynamic Chantilly multimedia library (that I would like to thank here).



First highlight, at the vernissage, the reading of the poems composed by the poets from the Adex based on my prints!


During the hanging of the exhibition, two poets from the Adex, Pierre Crabié and Patricia Bonnaud, wrote and read poems inspired by the prints presented. Here are two examples. On the blog, we will report more extensively of this moment later. This was so moving for everyone present, and especially... for me!


Here are two example of the poems created on this ocasion [translated by me, please refer to this blogpost in French for the original poem].
