"These Arlesian women, for the most part, have for origin in old photos or postcards, images belonging to a collective memory.
The beauty of these women in black and white, their allure, are a revealer, an opening towards an imaginary. The series of drawings that resulted is a reverie, a point-of-view on this Mediterranean woman, ancient and modern. It is not a document of a closed and codified tradition of costume but a game between singularity and archetype, past and present, reality and myth of the Arlesienne."
