Artist-poet: writing, painting, embroidery
Hangar du Pendule, 2 bis rue Codet, Trentemoult, 44400 Rezé
Studio at the Hangar du Pendule (Trentemoult).
A self-taught artist-poet from Lorraine who has lived in Nantes since 2018, Cordiforme (alias NaCim) has made the heart his subject since 2014: an engine to repair, pamper and console. He paints canvases that he then embroiders by hand, sews totem objects, and writes the precepts of a 'Manuel du Cœur Moteur' handed out as little booklets. His exhibition 'Cordiformaimant' turned the Grand Lieu du Conte into a cabinet of curiosities of the heart (2023–2024). He works at the Hangar du Pendule, where he gave embroidery demonstrations during the 2025 WAVE biennial.
