About the Work

I have been working weekly through my Journal de Bord series for several years—an ongoing practice rooted in real-time observation, much like a captain's log. This approach is inspired by the Japanese shichijni ko calendar, where each micro-season lasts only a few days. Nature is constantly changing, and I strive to capture those fleeting moments before they vanish.

This piece is part of my Journal de Bord series, shared with my catalogue subscribers each week. In this entry, I reflect on what I observed in nature, how the piece unfolded, and the specific moment that inspired the work. Below is the journal entry to go alongside this artwork.

Entrée n° 98

We’re now in winter, and I’ve returned to the nuttery to complete this seasonal study, bringing to a close a series that began here last spring.

The branches are now bare, their dormancy clearly visible, and the ground is layered with the final few leaves that crunch underfoot before the decay entierly. In the early morning frost, I noticed how the edges of those leaves were laced with white, creating a fine outline against the frozen grass. It was in this moment that I understood how to translate winter into graphite, not to draw the branches but to focus on winter of what remains on the ground, marking the completion of the growth cycle.

By removing the visual noise of the grass, I focused instead on the leaves frozen in their crumpled forms or held together by frost. These works were composed as still lifes rather than direct observations, with each arrangement carefully considered. Here, nature itself seemed to hold the leaves in place, marking the stillness of winter.
