WHY ?

A book to understand what takes place during the creative process.

A tool to make known this art work to art professionals, institutions, museums, and art galeries, in France and abroad.

An introduction to set the subject among the artist's territories :

Hélène Duclos is a researcher.

This is the very simple origin of the project.

This book intends to present the artist's researchs and is considered to help the spread of this very particular and prolific art work. It is also and mainly dedicated to art collectors to whom you are part of : you'll be kindly invited to discover the paintings, the drawings and the embroideries all along the printed book. And you'll surely be charmed by the rich art work and the diversity of all the explored territories*.

*A word or an expression is polysemous when it has at least two different meanings. In French, territory is polysemous.
