Geneviève Seillé is particularly known for her mixed-media drawings, collages and bookworks. Her series of constructions from the 1980s and 1990s emerge from her private 'cosmology' and reflect her fascination with writing and numbers. For Seillé, 'words are magiic', and from childhood she has been fascinated by graffiti and what she describes as 'the beauty of lines called letters'.
