An art project
Welcome!
I'm very fond of this project ... please leave me a comment and don't hesitate to come and visit this page often!!
Who am I?
- claudie
- Friend, Wife, Mom, Reader, Explorer, Traveler, Painter, Photographer... I love to eat, talk, share, make things, and start new adventures... Amie, épouse, maman, passionnée de lectures, voyages, art et photo... J'adore manger, parler, bricoler, et suis toujours prête pour une nouvelle aventure!
Why a castle?
When asked to produce my cartography of the world, I thought "maps are obsolete, the world is changing, oceans are rising, animals are becoming extinct, what's the point?" I thought of a Buddha saying: "Change is the only permanent thing in the world" . I felt change had to be central in my representation of the world....
I wanted to involve children in my project, children from all over the world, united by their imagination, and their ability to grow, learn, adapt and change....I thought "Children will be the change they wish to see in the world" , they will make this Gandhi saying come true.
Building blocks seemed like the perfect answer: children learn from them(numbers, letters, colors), but mostly they play by endlessly building and knocking down these boxes transformed by their imagination: A castle, a tower, a pirate ship! Wherever their imagination takes them....That's why I settled on the idea of the castle: it represents our world transformed and embellished by our children's imagination!!

You are an inspiration, dear Claudie. This project is beautiful on so many levels. Through your art, I can really feel your heart and your passion...for children, our global future, spiritual awareness and the joy of creativity! You are a treasure:) Well done and thanks for sharing!!
J'arrive par hasard sur votre site et je suis saisi. J'ai longtemps hésiter à vous laisser un mot mais je me lance tant je voudrais partager ce que j'ai ressenti et échanger des impressions d'artiste.
Votre travail est magnifique, porteur d'espoir et d'inspiration mais ce n'est pas cela que j'en retiens. Il est encore maladroit (pardon) , en devenir et je sens une quête qui vous brûle un inachevé qui vous consumme.
Poursuivez, dépassez, réalisez !
Et pardonnez mon intrusion. J'ai cru simplement reconnaitre un moment de mon existance et voulais échanger.
Je ne veux pas vous importuner. Laisser moi un signe, un mot, une ombre sur votre blog et je saurai si vous voulez converser.

Votre blog semble en hibernation.
Avez-vous renoncé?
Je ne pense pas. Votre besoin de créer est trop intense.
Laissez moi un commentaire lorsqu'il s'éveillera à nouveau.
Avez vous lu Merleau Ponty, "Le doute de Cézanne"?
"L'art est une opération d'expression". C'est un élan intérieur irrépressible, "une fièvre vague" c'est à dire quelque chose qui renvoi au corps et non à l'esprit, au geste et non à l'idée.
Réprimer cette fièvre ? votre esprit peu s'en accommoder, votre corps vous le fera payer.
Libérez votre corps des fers inutiles, créez !
