A multidisciplinary artist, Aude’s work spans drawing, installation, and sculpture, exploring time, memory, and the subconscious. Her practice delves into the unseen, seeking to unearth deeper understandings of self and society. Aude draws in museums from old masters, anonymous artists, and craftspeople to build a visual library of figures, garments, and details, which she incorporates into her over-life-size SENTINELS series. She also creates frottages of architectural spaces like the monumental Hauser & Wirth Stairs Frottage – 196 Piccadilly, made on forty meters of paper scrolls, preserving a now-altered architectural space as an archive. Reflecting on memory and loss, she transforms mundane objects—like the matchsticks used by her elderly mother—into relics, elevating the banal to a new meaning.
