Je Suis Magnifique

Preparing for Je Suis Magnifique, at EMMAUS neuilly sur Marne. An amazing project i have been working on for the last few months:

-->
Jayne Morley, artiste, has been a regular face at EMMAUS, Neuilly Plaisance et Nuilly-sur Marne for the last few months and has recently been working with the Companions on her devised project Je Suis Là ou Je suis Magnifique, an exploration of self- identity, loss, belonging and hope,  common themes in Morley’s work made real by the stories of the people portrayed here. It has been a journey of focus, revelation, exploration and introspection. Working with charcoal, pastel, clay, words and the camera Morley has created, with the companions, a valuable piece of documentary that  is revealing, poignant and full of dignity.
“Jayne Morley’s work is transformative; she creates miniature miracles which abound in richly sensual colours and playful, eversurprising forms where an alchemy takes place. Her work is shot through with intuition and intelligence, and she is endowed with a wonderful eye. But at no point does this become an exercise in abstraction. Morley always foregrounds her emotional sensibility, Her photos breathe and move and take us on a voyage of discovery.”
