However, I would also like to work in co-working spaces simultaneously (I am looking for it). How does your creative process work? It depends, sometimes I already have a precise idea and I write it down on a paper to see how I can make it. Sometimes, a documentary or a book gives me references. Generally, it is the meeting with a material which provides me a multitude of interpretations. I draw then I…Continue Reading
