Last summer in 2013, invited by L'Association Art Patrimoine Ozenay, I made the first explorations in the area of Ozenay.
The area is hilly with meadows and vineyards, surrounded by beautiful hedges and a small stream flows through.
The Natouze, initially invisible but soon it becomes for me an important element in the landscape around Ozenay.
Often standing on both sides hedges or trees along the stream so it remains invisible but therefore traceable in the landscape. Closer to the river you discover the ever flowing water with its many colors. Traditionally, the stream is a source of income and utility. He was / is used for irrigation, drainage, to levy tolls when crossing and by using water mills the stream made different kind of machines working.
I walked along the stream, from the source to where it flows into the Saône, made pictures and video and film recordings. I spoke with the Syndicate de la Natouze and visited several mills. In the rectory there wil be a work about the color nuances de Natouze and in the garden of the castle I wil make the current of the natouze in nylon .
