T he technique used — the MR2I technique — is based on four fundamental components: the matrix, the revealed, the impression, and the imprint. Together they form a kind of plastic genetic code.

The technique used — the MR2I technique — is based on four fundamental components: the matrix, the revealed, the impression, and the imprint, which together form a kind of plastic genetic code.

In practice:

A matrix is created with oil pastel on paper.
This matrix is embossed on the back while placed on another sheet of paper.
The embossing simultaneously produces:

  • a revealed: the transformed matrix, having lost part of its material.
  • an impression: that is, the transfer of this material onto the other paper through the pressure of embossing.

  • From this revealed (or sometimes from the impression), an imprint on paper can be made.

    This process thus gives rise to two or three distinct monotypes (the revealed, the impression, and the imprint), all derived from an initial matrix that disappears in the process, becoming the revealed itself.

    A matrix can also be used as it is, in various arrangements, thus completing the four-part plastic genetic code. It then becomes a latent matrix.

    This original technique, developed by the artist, weaves together chance, binary and ternary structures, matter, color, drawing, and plastic code. It becomes the foundation of her various works, giving shape to contemporary Nature — a global ecosystem of generalized interdependencies, of Natures-Cultures, multiple assemblages, and local ecosystems.
