Sirène (2023) Sculpture by Anouk Péré

I spent my childhood reading and drawing, I was fascinated by tales, legends, stories of all kinds.

All these stories seemed to enrich my experience of the real world, to color it, to vivify it, each in their own way.

Growing up, I became more specifically interested in the unconscious, through the practice of tarot and hypnosis.

Today, it is a bit of this living, blurry and baroque magic that I seek to transcribe and share through my work.

This energy guides me in the choice of materials that I find and use: raw and colored iron wires, pieces of mirrors, pearls and crystals, metal from tin cans, wire mesh, fabrics, plastic flowers, pebbles and wood…

The manufacturing process is slow, intuitive and organic, I manipulate the metal wires to give them shape, I amalgamate, I twist, I weave, I knot, I cut, I assemble, I include and I embroider.

I decline this narrative research through decorative objects, jewelry, images, sculptures of wonderful animals, mythical or archetypal characters.

Each of them tells its own story, but also the common narrative of the dream world of the collective unconscious from which they emerge.
