Fascinated with minerals, rocky materials and oxidation phenomena, French textile artist Sylvia Eustache Rools has explored the wonderful possibilities of 'textile geology', transforming silks and satins by diverse and varied means,such as painting, inking, tinting, macerating, oxidizing, until the final results feels geological, timeless, immemorial. These textile geologies have then been seamlessly combined with the sculptural bases of artist Jérôme Pereira.
“Aware” poetically alignes wood and textile. The name of their common artistic practice comes both from the Japanese expression “mono no aware” which refers to the poignant feeling of impermanence, as well as the English adjective “aware” which means “to have knowledge, to be alert, to be conscious.”
