Mathilde VAILLANT, born 1995
Mathilde Vaillant's work, which began in 2018 while she was studying plastic arts, stems from her experience of Breton traditions. She discovered the Seiz Breur social and cultural project while writing her dissertation entitled Deskin, trein ha gwiadin, un regard breton sur la création contemporaine en arts plastiques, submitted in September 2020 with the congratulations of the jury at the Art et Essai gallery at the University of Rennes 2.
The movement of Jeanne Malivel, the Creston couple and Georges Robin quickly resonated with what was driving her creation. While the folklorization of Brittany today has evolved towards a marketing use of symbols (Celtic designs, yellow oilskins and Bigouden headdresses), the diversity of practices and knowledge, particularly in textile works, offers enormous creative potential.
Mathilde Vaillant, a dancer with the Celtic circle of the Kenleur federation in the Rennes region, alternates the making of traditional headdresses with a plastic research project in embroidery, which, nourished by the know-how of embroiderers, offers a renewal of forms and formats. She draws her inspiration from Breton culture and diversifies her approach by choosing second-hand materials and techniques. The large macramé weave, for example, renews traditional motifs from the
Trégor and offers a close-up of embroidery techniques, while the plastic, colorful aspect and sweet smell of hay come from the medium, straw bale nets, collected, cleaned and untangled by her.
