Cathédrale incendiée (Cathedral ablaze) , 2021
47 x 34 in (h x w)

This third cathedral of my series was created thinking about Nantes cathedral, which was partly destroyed by fires, the last in 2019. I was there on July 21 when it started and it gave me a huge feeling of grief: a beautiful, glorious old haven was clearly disappearing in front of our eyes. I just made a transfer of my grief into the fabrics. The screen-printed fabric I used had these bright red and yellow patterns that could represent a raging fire over the roofs and behind the stained glass.
