Prune Nourry Prune Nourry (born in 1985, living between New York and Paris), graduated from the École Boulle, works with many materials such as earth, wood, bronze and glass. Sculpture is the backbone of her work, around which she creates ephemeral performances, films and installations. Collaboration with specialists, craftsmen and scientists nourishes its process. The artist particularly questions the notions of balance and healing in his work, as through his project Catharsis (2019). In 2021, with Projet Phenix, she reconnects with the tradition of portraiture and the intimacy between the artist and her model, by inviting eight blind people to pose in her studio. Blindfolded, without ever seeing them, Prune Nourry sets out to create their busts in the ground, through touch and listening. Inspired by the myth of the phoenix, she uses the raku technique to fire the works. During the posing sessions, she records their story and takes photos of their hands, whose life lines also symbolize the story. This project arises from a very personal experience. To treat cancer, she resorts to chemotherapy, one of the potential side effects of which is the loss of a sense essential to her: touch. For this new stamp project, Prune Nourry chooses a student from INJA-Louis Braille, Aïcha, as a model. In connection with the work of a sculptor and the symbol of touch, its tone is in volume. Aïcha's hand is embossed and the names are in Braille. White like the plaster casts, this stamp shows us that we can see beyond the eyes and travel through touch. Drawn on a palm or on a letter, the lines (re)link us, our correspondences leave traces, an imprint.
