Cassandre Boucher is interested in the evocative power of the past's traces. She engages in a protean approach to textile arts wherein weaving and the pictorial possibilities of silk-screening are exploited to alter and divert archival images. Driven by an interest in the environment and traditional know-how, she seeks to valorize a slower and more careful relationship with the things that surround us. Cassandre Boucher draws inspiration from recent social history and the rural environment in which she grew up in order to create visual back-and-forths between present time and memories. Her works explore themes related to manual skills, the evolution of women's place and the relationship between human beings and their environment.

Originally from the Bas-Saint Laurent, Cassandre Boucher holds a B.A. from the Université du Québec à Montréal and a M.A. from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In recent years, her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Caravansérail (2022), Presse-Papier distribution centre (2020), Maison de la culture Côte-des-Neiges (2019), and group exhibitions at the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent (2021), Atelier Circulaire (2020) and Livart (2019). She has participated in residencies at the Fabric Workshop and Museum (Philadelphia, USA), the Icelandic Textile Center (Blönduós, Iceland) and the Villa Belleville (Paris, France). Her projects were supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec in 2016, 2018 and 2022, as well as by the Canada Council for the Arts in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, her work was a finalist for the 14th edition of the ICART prize (France).
