Marie-Claude White is a French photographic artist and translator. For a preliminary idea of her artistic path, one only need consider the titles of some of her series: D’une grève à l’autre, Calligraphies de la mer, Un matin sur le sable, Secrets d’écorces, Jeux d’herbes, Mangrove, Vagues, and Géomorphoses. Further exploration of her process and personal approach to a geopoetic art may be found in her book Art naturel ou artefact, subtitled La photographie comme médium de la connivence.

The complicity in question is that of the “rapprochement of nature and art,” of the “coexistence of the human being with the world.” This is how she wandered, senses keen, eyes alert, along the world’s many shores, amid scatterings of kelp and rolling waves, in the silence of mangroves, among tangles of roots, across moors where the wind of emptiness blows, in woods of silver birches with inscribed bark.

Marie-Claude White reveals through her photography an intense conscience as well as an intimate and profound understanding of the world.
