Dans l'atelier d'Evelyne Alice Bridier -

Evelyne Alice Bridier set up her workshop in her house located at the bottom of the steps just opposite the church of Auvers-sur-Oise, immortalised in the famous painting by van Gogh.

A graphic designer by training, Evelyne Alice Bridier has always been passionate about textile creation. In 2003, she discovered the techniques of feltmaking, which became her favourite art.

Since then, she has been constantly exploring all the potentialities of felted wool, which she works both into flat surfaces and complex volumes.

Drawing inspiration from Sonia Delaunay’s "simultaneous contrasts " Evelyne enjoys blurring the edges of her work in installations, sculptures and wearable creations.

Felt has a magical quality that is expressed through the intimate physical connection between artist and matter for a playful, poetic and intriguing fabric.

" Kneading wool, rubbing it with soapy water and giving birth, with your fingertips, to a new, flexible and malleable material, is a magnificently life-giving creative process that powerfully embodies warmth and protection. "

The abrupt encounters of the rough and the sophisticated, the wild and the precious guide the maker through journeys whose destinations are always surprising. Her works speak a refined, minimalist language, whispering soft emotions.
