The project originated when Aurélie Lanoiselée met Yoshika Yajima, a doctoral candidate in Osaka whose thesis is on the tradition of hanamusubi (flower knots) during the Edo period from a gender perspective. Hanamusubi function as a codex, passed on only by women and only by hand. Perpetuate the Ephemeral questions the practice of a knot that is made to be untied and retied. Underlying themes will be how to make the invisible visible, ties within the social fabric, the encounter of cord and hand, a thought and a form-creating gesture. Colour and connecting processes are at the heart of the project, combining form with elevation of the senses.

Presentation
Aurélie Lanoiselée’s embroidered works combine singularity and savoir-faire to push at the boundary between textile and art. Sculptures, objects, artistic collaborations, exhibitions and haute couture confirm the unique approach of the studio she founded in 2002.
Her association of vernacular techniques, such as the luneville hook, and finishings such as dyes, enable her to freely create volumes as well as flat surfaces. Repurposed materials, knitted fabrics, beading and crochet extend the range of possibilities for contemporary creations.
