Originally from Québec, I am an artist holding a double bachelor's degree in visual and media arts and in art education from Université Laval, where I am currently pursuing a master's in visual arts. I have exhibited so far in France and mainly in my region, while developing a practice that brings together research-creation and the transmission of knowledge.
My artistic practice is not separate from the way I live: it takes the everyday as a terrain of experiences and of engagement with the environment, revealing the interconnection of all things. It is born in the places I move through, from the relationships woven there, from the micro-landscapes made up of bodies, plants, animals, and the traces we leave behind us.
I am interested in the "becoming-familiar" of ordinary forms, routines, and habits, and in the way art can suspend this familiarity to make us look differently at what surrounds us. The everyday is my starting point: I glean fragments of life from it that I film, collect, and arrange. Between documentary and autofiction, I seek less to represent reality than to slightly shift the way we look at it.
I project my memories — affective, bodily, sometimes hard to name — into matter. I am interested in those moments when a gesture we perform mechanically suddenly becomes visible, when a habit stops being transparent. This slight shift allows what is familiar to us to become strange again, or simply to become something to look at once more.
What becomes of what we no longer look at? How does something become so familiar that it disappears from our gaze?
Through installations, photographs, videos, sound environments, and artist's books, I propose forms that extend these experiences. I explore relationships of attention and friendship, between humans and plants, starting from what we already have at hand, to bring out other ways of cohabiting.
