Part of Laurentine Périlhou’s ongoing research into plants, Les Violettes finds its roots in memory as much as in nature.
Growing up in Ariège, France, she learned to observe the living world closely—walking, gathering flowers, and reading landscapes alongside her mother.
Through knot after knot, these early gestures resurface.
Macramé becomes a quiet language of growth and resilience, translating the plant’s capacity to adapt, to persist, and to shape its environment.
“Each knot is the symbol of a silent construction that translates the plant’s capacity to adapt to its environment and to shape the landscapes it inhabits.”
