Morgane Baroghel-Crucq

Eyes on Talents member, Morgane Baroghel-Crucq, is a visual artist and textile artisan. Through weaving, she creates sensitive landscapes that draw on both collective and personal memory, and seek to capture a deeper sense of time and a meaningful connection with our environment. For the latest Révélations biennial, beneath the glass nave of the Grand Palais, she exhibited her series Les Mondes Flottants [Floating Worlds], a translation of Ukiyo, a Buddhist concept that emphasizes the impermanence of all things. For this series, she wove linen and silk, two natural materials linked to the histories of her maternal and paternal families. The linen and silk are dyed using plant-based colors and paints made from mineral pigments, grounding the works in roots that are at once animal, plant and mineral. As a testament to the Earth and the soil, these works illustrate the interdependence of all elements, a guiding principle in Morgane’s artistic practice.
