About me/more infos

Marine Beaufils is a French embroidery artist. She reproduces the world on a different grid than the one that is imposed to us. On embroidery’s matrix, she tries to fit the details of the video games she loves, the vignettes of her favorite movies, the readings that have marked her or the colors of astronomical views that fascinate her. It is necessary to rethink pixels into points, to convert the gradations into single tones, to calculate the dimensions of infinite objects: it is a work of adaptation and precision which cumulates great freedom and a constant discipline. Sometimes Marine works with artists whose “cartons” (preparatory drawings) she reproduces.
