THINGS BY MANON MONGE

Cattail or Sorghum
FRANCE

Manon Monge lives at the end of a long, bumpy, dirt road. Remote. When she said ""remote"" we both looked at each other and laughed. We were sharing the desire for being out there, one of us being there. Manon is trained as a high level seamstress; she knows how to use her hands. Living in nature, surrounded by changing beauty, a bent for handwork, the work forms over time. Manon makes so many beautiful things it was unusually difficult for me to chose. We finally came to the conclusion: we take it one plant at a time, well, two here. Cattail, a rhizome, and sorghum, a grass, how many objects can be produced from a single plant? When you have the contact and the sensitivity, nature is limitless.
