Bilingual edition French/English. This book provides an overview of the work of a visual artist who, as a woman, decided to abandon canvas and paintbrush in favor of thread and needle. The first part of the book is devoted to the views and reflections of historians, critics, and writers on the artist's work. The second part is presented in the form of an alphabet book covering a wide range of textile techniques used to reuse materials that are now discarded or gradually abandoned: road maps, food packaging, handkerchiefs and used clothing, pastry placemats, garbage bags, maps, metro tickets, etc. In addition to this recycling-based approach, the artist has devoted an essential part of her creation to her basic material: thread.
