Violaine weaves the sea and its colours. Living in Bretagne, where tides mark the time, she picks seaweed as soon as the tide goes out, leaving them scattered across the sand and in little rock pools. It is a way the material returns to its origins. It is a living thing, that inspires her to ask herself many questions. It opens her heart. Creating with seaweed allows her to merge the animal and plant kingdoms. Seven years spent in India influenced Violaine's textile techniques. She left with a hunger to use her acquired skills in an imaginative and sustainable way. It took her a long time to understand how. Working with seaweed brings her great joy, she likes to help the material naturally transform into different shapes by using her hands in a harmonious manner.
