Through sensory and sensitive observation of my surroundings and via reproduction and manipulation gestures, I reinterpret studio materials and everyday objects to strip them of their utilitarian functions. As part of an exploratory process that aims to question the malleability of matter, I use unconventional strategies in my ceramics, glass, moulding, photography and welding practices, even going so far as to divert the primary use of certain materials that I choose more for their plastic quality than their practicality, in order to foreground their forms, colours and materiality. These reversals and association games operate in a playful and conceptual mode. The great freedom with which I replay these models endows my installations with a sensitivity that is close to the folk world. The assemblages I build proceed by accumulation, and their organization creates spaces where the imbalance and the precariousness become a force of tension crossing the entirety of the proposals.
Born in St-Casimir, Québec (1980), I live and work in Montreal. I hold a master's degree in visual and media arts from UQAM which I completed in 2021. For the past twenty years, I have exhibited in several artist-run centres, events and exhibitions. My most recent solo exhibitions include Architecture sculpturale at the Centre Langage Plus in Alma (2022), Les formes en porte-à-faux (2019), at Galerie B-312. My work has also been displayed at the Manif d'art de Québec, La Centrale, Caravansérail, Stadtgalerie at Berne in Switzerland and as part of urban art projects in Chile and Argentina in collaboration with Guillaume La Brie. I am also co-founder of the contemporary art organization Pique-Nique.
