BOUGIE BITTER ALMOND

Nathalie Sonnet, ceramist

After studying history, I joined the Louvre Museum at the end of the 80’s, then in full mutation. My gaze is particularly focused on ceramics, perhaps because here one perceives the hand shaping matter. I then resume studies of art history and, from eye to hand, other apprenticeships, which gradually and durably attach me to this material, clay. In 2005 I set up a workshop in Normandy, where color and light nourish my work. 

Since then, following a path of research in forms, colors, textures, the body is increasingly involved in gesture and develops proximity and intimacy with matter.

Fred Fou, Photographer.

Like an alchemist, I intervene in photography mainly with simple materials (scotches, papers, inks, pencils, pastels, pens, paints, liquid bitumen…).

I push to the limit of support each draw, pushing all established rules. Immersed in ink baths, each impression gives itself at random a controlled metamorphosis. Next comes sequencing, marks and traces on photography, painting, assemblages, collages.

This setting creates two spaces that provoke and lead the gaze of a «Before» towards a «Elsewhere».   

The series «Approximative Landscapes» asks about the processes of exploration and appearance of the image. 

Around this representation, it is my own interior landscape as poetic and visual layers that appears on the surface. The art of telling with light what is mysterious and intimate, secretly deep and enclosed in the shadows.

To venture, to create a landscape for light, to redo the route of the day, from one bank to the other, to print sound...

Here at 20 RUE JACOB, hides a secret place in the heart of St Germain des Prés.

 American Natalie Clifford Barney's literary salon is named after

"Temple of Friendship". For more than 60 years this place welcomes the finest minds in a neoclassical decor. The "Amazon" show will remain one of the last so influential. Jardins d´écrivains permeates the intensity of this story to compose the fragrance

of a Parisian spring.

In a case of amber patchouli, a radiant bergamot is combined with the delicate palmarosa.

Neroli, Pepper, Wormwood, Fig, Ginger, Violet, Musk, Buchu, Lavender, Narcissus, Iris, Incense, Sandalwood.

The Cocotte’s life seems to be inspired by a novel. She dedicates her existence to excess and freedom. La Belle Otero eau de parfum is an invitation to misbehave : licentious pepper, illicit absinthe, covetous violet and concupiscent sandalwood. Its evolution leaves a certain delectation on the skin.

The Manor exudes a cosy atmosphere with Anglo-Norman charm.

A smoking Earl Grey mingles with the fireplace on an antique rose background.

Jardins d’Ecrivains puts its own interpretation on the fascinating Virginia Woolf fantasy. An androgynous character with eternal youth, Lord Orlando in the Elizabethan era becomes Lady Orlando in the 18th century. Quirky blends with the eclectic and timeless in a spellbinding fragrance. Irrational dreams, an eastern monarchy and a sense of the divine linger in its wake.

The SNOBBISH candle praises noble materials by dressing in a stone-coloured vegetable-tanned leather and revealing an atmosphere of curiosity. The opulence of osmanthus harmonizes with the notes of musk tonkin.

Once the candle has been used up, the leather ganized glass becomes an object such as a pot cache, a cosmetic jar or a pencil pot, depending on the inspiration;)

The new ager explores a new religiosity that appeared in the 20th century.

A spirituality centered on the “mystical self” and inspired by different influences.

This quest reveals a cosmic patchouli with jasmine and incensed essences of a divine nature.
