Marine Astic
Designer & Artist
​
​
Specialised in interior design and stage design for exhibitions. The space, the light and the materials are daily on my mind.
​
From 2016 to 2019 I have been working and traveling on three different continents.
​
In December 2018, while I was in Laos, I discovered a paper craft factory and got the chance to do a workshop and learn their techniques of making sheets of paper.
​
This experience had a considerable impact on me because of the process of making paper and the potential, the limits and meanings of this material. I have made making paper into my main art form.
Exhibition at the Pavé d'Orsay – Paris
from the 3rd to the 14th of September 2020
The exhibition got his origin from four years living
like a nomad on three continents.
Encounters, discoveries, influences, feelings, skills, history.
The rediscovery of paper : a material, a texture, handcrafted, A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION AND MEMORY, A CULTURAL WITNESS.
A work in three steps :
A moving life, where my senses awake, I capture samples of life, creating collections of universal diversity.
During the lockdown, I got the time to experiment and develop a handcraft paper techniques that I learned in Laos.
After that, I did a one month art residency, at the gallery Le Pavé d’Orsay in Paris; where my work with recycled paper entered a dialogue with collections of sounds, images and symbols of cultures, personalities and landscapes that moved me. Creating an ensemble from everywhere, an Universal Landscape.
