In all its forms, creating is a pleasure.
Discovering and being curious about everything, immersing yourself in what surrounds her, are the bases of Marie-Christine Hourdebaigt's research. Finding bridges between different sensibilities, sharing and associating, exploiting different universes, textiles, earth, wood, lace, text ...

Express yourself, play, tie, weave shapes, fibers, connect, intertwine threads, experiment and let yourself be guided by the imagination, lead to new paths ... Take the time to look, to be amazed, to marvel to get to the point.
Let your emotions speak and walk slowly through your desires.

After training at the school of fine arts in Bordeaux then that of Toulouse, Marie-Christine uses her technical knowledge, her natural abilities for needlework and her artistic sense in order to devote herself to textile art, his favorite playground. Inspired by the observation of natural elements, landscapes, legendary places, she always follows her overflowing imagination to create works with strong poetic potential. This artist often starts a project with the dye that she works on like a watercolor. The fabrics, chosen according to their textures and colors, are then associated with chance or after careful consideration. The addition of paper, wood, leather gives birth to compositions that question the gaze and the mind. Marie-Christine combines various artistic disciplines to create both paintings and works in volume, unique and singular.
