Artist
In Manon de Lastens' work, the traces are there. Because we have to remember. We should remember everything.
But the traces are there too because we are not much after all. Just steps in the dust.
Manon de Lastens is in her place when she draws, when she doesn't belong to the world most of the time.
In this gesture, she is as close as possible to who she is. When she paints, she rests. She finally got rid of the words.
Creating is the necessary mechanism that allows Manon de Lastens to be in the world.
