Marinette Cueco   (1934) 

 

Marinette Cueco est née en 1934 à Argentat en France. Elle vit et travaille entre Paris et la Corrèze. Elle pratique depuis 1960 le tissage et la tapisserie et depuis 1978, tisse et tresse les herbes. Marinette Cueco scrute la nature pour mieux la mettre en forme, la transformer: elle noue, tresse, lie, entrelace et festonne. En conjuguant la texture, le rythme et la couleur, elle fait de la nature le lieu et le matériau de ses interventions.

"Le travail de Marinette se base toujours sur le principe de l'unification. Noués ou tissés, tressés ou tricotés, entrelacés ou festonnés, les différents éléments, avec leurs propres qualités tactiles, visuelles ou même olfactives, servent avant tout à constituer des matières ou des textures variables. Sa pratique, qui évite les ruptures, est à l'image des cycles qui caractérisent l'univers de la nature ou le corps de la femme..." - Itzhak Goldverg.

“The work of Marinette is always based on the principle of unification.Tied or woven, braided or knitted, interlaced or scalloped, the different elements, with their own tactile qualities, visual or even olfactory, serve before anything to constitute materials or its variable textures. Her pratique, which avoids ruptures, is the image of the cycles that characterize the universe of nature or the body of the woman...” - Itzhak Goldverg.
