Catalogue Note
" Je vois un sillon. Sillon avec balayages, petits, précipités, transversaux. Dedans un fluide, mercuriel par l'éclat, torrentiel par l'allure, électrique par la vitesse. Et on dirait aussi élastique. Pfitt, pfitt, pfitt, il file montrant sur ses flancs d'infinis petits frisselis. Je lui vois aussi des zébrures."
