Printemps blanc is a book of flowers and butterflies. Spring motifs merge, insects adorn the flowery landscapes. Layout in the manner of a herbarium, the pages are composed according to different rhythms. We alternate between plates saturated with colors and patterns with plates on a black background, where a mass of flowers seem to be waiting to be sorted in turn. These herbarium plates are interspersed with double pages of drawings where we follow one, or several butterflies, in white landscapes drawn in line. The butterflies and flowers were made of plaster, they are thin flat surfaces, they echo through the fragility of the material the dried flowers or butterflies of the herbariums.
