Ouessant, un polop chez les maouts.

In march 2017, I was invited by the association « ENKI » to a one month artist residency in the Créac’h semaphore, next to Ouessant’s legendary Créac’h light house.
Ouessant is the furthest western island of Brittany, a small dot in the Atlantic Ocean.
First I was welcomed by the storm Zeus with its 200 km/h winds, then by the locals: a bunch of sailors, pirates and heroes who would invite me for a drink or two while I was portraying them.
After one month I had captured more than 100 « Ouessantins » in my sketchbook, an ethnography of the island.
