JS is originally from BASSE-TERRE in Guadeloupe where she was born in 1971.

A land with a rich and intense history, marked and crossed by extraordinary events, both human and natural. A land that has shaped and continues to shape the psychology, the way of being, the foundations of its descendants.

Her plastic work is both a research, an archaeological excavation on her physical and psychological intimacy and her almost visceral need to understand, analyze and identify the complexity of her behaviors and her way of being as a Guadeloupean woman influenced and shaped by her geographical and historical environment. She seizes all these particularities sometimes extreme, even violent but which make her fully and entirely from this part of the world and no other and claims the regenerative force of the living that surrounds her.
