After a long period practicing conceptual then relational art, Marion Baruch encountered physical difficulties linked to her advanced age. Hence, she operated a major turning point in her career at the end of the 2000s. She returns toward formal art, and discovers the pictorial potential of fabric remnants she collects from the textile industry. In this new artistic cycle, her first move is to link her work on these materials fated to oblivion with the great master of modern art who influenced her. Marion Baruch thus starts to name her artwork by dedicating them to artists she loves or she has loved, like spontaneous and free quotations to art history.

A work in metamorphosis, time is the actor in the work. It's a way of letting the material express itself and invoking our rituals and emotions. Each burnt wick leaves behind a brown and iridescent trace, in memory of its transformation. ‘Veillée' refers to the candle, which has symbolised hope, eternity and light in every culture since the dawn of time. - Juliette Minchin
