Nitescence veut dire clart\u00e9, brillance, rayonnement et j’ai tout de suite aim\u00e9 ce mot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon le dictionnaire de l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise, le monde horticole a lui aussi ses \u00e9clats: \u00abFragment d\u2019une plante en touffe muni de racines, qui, replant\u00e9, se d\u00e9veloppe et donne une autre touffe.\u00bb. M\u00eame d\u00e9finition sur le site de l\u2019Office qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de la langue fran\u00e7aise, d\u2019o\u00f9 je suis.

J\u2019ai tout de suite aim\u00e9 cet angle du mot. S\u00e9parer un plant devenu trop gros par une action manuelle afin de le multiplier est un sentiment fort vers la vie.

Pour cette pi\u00e8ce, je transpose ce sens vers le partage de la richesse du savoir. Quelques fractions du plant m\u00e8re offrent des \u00e9clats de curiosit\u00e9 pour toutes et tous. Le dictionnaire est l\u2019outil essentiel d\u2019une langue. Ce vaste et riche bassin d\u2019information, d\u2019images, doit \u00eatre multipli\u00e9 \u00e0 son tour. Avant les \u00e9crans, qui n\u2019a pas feuillet\u00e9 un dictionnaire en y regardant les dessins, les photos pour d\u00e9couvrir de nouveaux mots, de nouveaux mondes? 

Mes \u00e9clats ont tout ce qu\u2019il faut pour s\u2019adapter sur d\u2019autres terreaux. Y sont pr\u00e9sents les racines, les fils mycorhiziens et hors de terre, les tiges, les feuilles et parfois un bourgeon. J\u2019ai conserv\u00e9 cette sensation organique, ces portions arrach\u00e9es en d\u00e9chirant le livre un peu dans tous les sens.

Les fils de papier sont le r\u00e9seau mycorhizien, les impressions de feuilles desquelles je n\u2019ai conserv\u00e9 que la nervure principale, l\u2019essence de cette derni\u00e8re. Pour reprendre le sens de l\u2019\u00e9clat, ici il y a de la vitalit\u00e9, de la fragilit\u00e9 \u00e0 travers le papier qui est aussi de source v\u00e9g\u00e9tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il s’agit d’un livre d’artiste sans mot, puisqu’ils sont tous dans le dictionnaire.

Nitescence means clarity, brilliance, radiance, and I immediately loved this word. 

According to the dictionary of the Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise, the horticultural world also has its \u00e9clats: \u2018A fragment of a clump of plants with roots, which, when replanted, grows and produces another clump.\u2019 The same definition appears on the website of the Office qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de la langue fran\u00e7aise, where I am from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I immediately liked this angle on the word. Separating a plant that has become too large by hand in order to multiply it is a powerful feeling towards life.

For this piece, I transpose this meaning to the sharing of the wealth of knowledge. A few fragments of the mother plant offer bursts of curiosity for everyone. The dictionary is an essential tool for a language. This vast and rich pool of information and images must in turn be multiplied. Before screens, who hasn’t leafed through a dictionary, looking at the drawings and photos to discover new words and new worlds? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fragments have everything they need to adapt to other soils. They contain roots, mycorrhizal threads and, above ground, stems, leaves and sometimes a bud. I have preserved this organic feel, these portions torn from the book in all directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper threads are the mycorrhizal network, the impressions of leaves from which I have retained only the main vein, the essence of the latter. To return to the meaning of brilliance, here there is vitality and fragility through the paper, which is also of plant origin.

This is an artist’s book without words, since they are all in the dictionary.
