The line is also paths, trajectories, the line has a beginning and an end in architecture. The line is also colored, textured, infinite, curved, straight, dotted. It becomes the conceptual and aesthetic foundation of the art of Joëlle Cabanne.

Like Ferdinand Hodler in front of the grandiose of the Swiss mountains and lakes, she dives into the colored sensation of the landscape, in the effects of mists, in the lines of crests... thus making appear the landscapes as expressionist metaphors of vital energy.

The Artist's mediums are multiple, she creates her own tools from Balsa wood (flexible wood). Her practice goes from drawing to photography, cutting or inks on canvas and many others. Her series are always composed of several media (painting, drawings, and inks) Since 2017 she explore  Ink practice. She grows her own indigos from 2022.
