“Seeds of Encounters” is a multiple interdisciplinary art project, definitely ever-changing and forward-looking… managed by a creative team with a moving vision of the world that changes through experience.

Stanislas Pierrel, my husband, and myself share the same passion for encounters. They are the guides for our lives. Stanislas sets them to music while I stage, paint or write about them. A kind of quest that tends to make these encounters as living in their illustrations as with the human lives furtively met or mixed with for a long time. Whether they were born here, in France, in Ardeche, in Africa, in Madagascar or elsewhere, these encounters are very significant for us, they fill us with emotion, they take us away from our routines. We grow a little more every time and, even if they are painful, separations weave sadness and happiness together into a weft that we hope is tear-resistant. They gave birth to books, shows, exhibitions; they continue to do so… with still and again new encounters, new projects, new persons and new places.

2007 CD-Book: ‘’Graines de rencontres’’ (‘’Seeds of encounters’’)

This bilingual book (French and English) includes some fifty pictures: photographic creations, collages, paintings, songs… that grew while the authors were travelling through France, Mali, the United States, Russia, Mauritania, Cuba… with their encounters with outstanding men and women who fight to save our environment. Their stories, their experiences and their thoughts are mixed on each page of the book. The songs, which are an integral part of the work, are echoed in the music CD that was mixed in Box by Adrian Chivers!
