MY NAME IS ARIELLE SIBONY, I AM A WRITER AND ARTIST. I LIKE TO SAY THAT WHEN I'M A WRITER I WRITE, AND WHEN I'M AN ARTIST I UNWRITE. THAT IS TO SAY, I REMOVE MEANING FROM WORDS TO INSTEAD CREATE SHAPES. I EXPLORE SHAPES. I INVEST MY PERSON AS A WOMAN BY EXPRESSING MYSELF AND PUSHING EVERY LIMIT. I DON'T WANT TO LOCK MYSELF INTO A DISCIPLINE, I NEED TO EXPLORE CONTINUOUSLY AND BE AS CURIOUS AS POSSIBLE.
BEING DRESSED IN BARBARA BUI IS SOMETHING THAT'S MADE ME STRONG. THIS MASCULINE/FEMININE SIDE HAS CARRIED ME IN A SENSE - WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY IS NOT AT ALL FEMINIST - I FIND THAT THE MASCULINE AND COURAGEOUS SIDE GIVES ME STRENGTH FOR MY FIRST SHOOT. I THINK IT GAVE ME CONFIDENCE WITH THIS KIND OF MASCULINE PRESENCE, ALL THE WHILE BEING FEMININE.
"WITH ARIELLE, WE’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR SEVERAL YEARS, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL MEETING! A MIXTURE OF GRAVITY AND LIGHTNESS."
- BARBARA BUI
