TINGAUD Claire, textile

Claire Tingaud creates her artworks by assembling different materials and techniques.

As a multidisciplinary artist, any material can be assembled through the prism of weaving. Her main tools of creation are her three looms that she adapts and uses according to the materials and realizations envisaged. Her work is organized between plastic productions in two formats: 2D and 3D.

The 2D part of her work is presented in the form of textile paintings (series portrait-landscape, diptych solitude, triptych ephemeris) within which she assembles textures and colors thanks to the selected materials (spools of threads, livery, composite materials, etc...). The weaving is lived as a canvas, a base on which she can come to compose, to assemble, following the plastic and graphic work carried out upstream on coated, painted textiles or collages and assemblies cut out again to be then woven in their turn.

The 3D creations are based on a research of volume and depth possible thanks to the crossing of techniques and collaborations such as for the series "Fragiles insoumises" realized with the technical support of the glass blower Nicolas Hautbois, composed of an assembly of blown glass and fiberglass and copper woven. More recently, in collaboration with the digital designer Frédéric Blin, she created an interactive and immersive installation composed of a 3-meter-high sculpture, made of a metallic skeleton on which she affixed woven surfaces, inhabited by a sound universe rendered by a central transmitter and external transmitters in quadrophony.

Biography

Born in 1992, in La Garenne Colombes , in France Claire Tingaud is a visual artist who lives and works in Aubusson (France).

She obtained a Diploma of Crafts in 2014, then finalized her course with a year of research mixing different materials through textile tools and principles. Her practice is now based on the textile education she received for 7 years, and of which weaving is most specifically at the heart.
The mixing of materials through this prism of linkage and intermingling is carried in all the pieces and projects she creates. Guided by a longstanding itinerant journey, displacement, encounter, contemplation and impregnation are the founding elements of what fuels her sensibility.

In 2014, she left for Indonesia with the Dayak Desa community on the island of Borneo in order to reconnect with the essence of artisanal weaving, then in 2015 to Guatemala within the Cojolya association which supports the activity of women weavers.
In 2016, it was with the Design for Peace program and the Burkina Faso refugee commission that she left for Ouagadougou, for a first experience of a creative residency in collaboration with Tuareg refugee artisans.

Since then, she has continued her creative projects abroad and, on the road,, but also at home.
Between 2020 and 2022 she realized, in collaboration with several artists of the visual arts but also of the living arts, an interactive and immersive installation, re-transcribing the landscape and emotional experience of a journey in Iceland.
She will soon be in residence at CARMA, Centre d'Art et de Recherche de Mana, in Guyana.
