La fille à la balançoire
Let this long week come to an end with a flourish
thanks to the awe-inspiring works by Caroll Bertin,
a self taught French textile artist who turns as if
by magic old shabby clothes and fabrics into childish,
humorous soft sculptures, art dolls or strange 
figures with a strong aesthetic sense.

Albert & quelques autres
The childlike simplicity of her sewed artworks subtly
recalling a bygone era when life was easier and
placid, makes her easily associated with Naïve art
yet she's quite modern and extremely personal in
turning recycled textiles, frayed old sweaters but
also shoes, bags, jumpers and trousers into easily
understandable storytelling works, fine characters
of an idealized world able to warm our brittle hearts.
