Correspondence, 2023 - present
With Jeanne Champenois-MassetIn 2023, a correspondence began to be written with the offering of the purple thread. Since then, Jeanne and Matilde have been meeting frequently to create a place where they bring, unpack, offer and receive.
In this gesture and ritual, they present a part of themselves in a response to the other, the fruit of poetic listening and openness. By addressing the other and bringing their individual practices into dialogue, this is also how friendship is built. With the pleasure of creating, offering, extending and celebrating.
From this practice of correspondence result works in multiple forms: letters and postcards, tiny sculptures, soundscapes, drawings and embossings, self-published books and boxes housing dried daffodils, a chestnut or a collected pollen. Through a process that is always free and personal, the objects created support a practice of attention to the other and to everyday life.
The fruit of their meetings was presented in the form of a performance/performed reading during the exhibition Faire livre! at Cloud Seven, in June 2024, in Brussels.
