Danielle Jacqui

[citation needed] Following a divorce in 1970, she became an antiques dealer, a profession that gave her a tactile sense, through objects, and among other things, a taste for recycling.

[3] In November 2006, she was invited to a residency in ceramic arts in Aubagne, where she conceived of and pursued an artwork covering several hundred square metres.

[6] This piece, composed of 36 tons of ceramics and to which the artist devoted 10 years of work, was thus bequeathed[7] to the Fondation de la Ferme des Tilleuls and the City of Renens in Switzerland.

The artist has been working since 2015 on installation at the site, in collaboration with the architect Gilles Décosterd, on an original and modular structure of 27 assembled totems.

[citation needed] The Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs undertook, in November 2021, to register her house in Roquevraire as a historical monument.
