Opium poppy petals and corn
Leather/magnets / rice/ steel/wood.
Maude Léonard-Contant intertwines language and tactile materials in her reflections on cultural belonging and knowledge of plants. Silk, leather and plants are subjected to significant pressure, shaped and modified. Leather is stretched over wooden forms, plants pressed between the pages of thick dictionaries and silk laid in folds. To do this, she resorts to age-old craft techniques and traditional knowledge.
