Statement

I am a dual citizen, French Canadian and American, and have lived in different parts of the United States for many years. I work in installation, printmaking, and artists’ books. My work is not defined by medium, but by the ideas that connect them. At its center is an examination of the gay experience and the role of doubt within it.

By doubt, I do not mean uncertainty about who I am. I mean being open to what is personal, uncertain, and not yet understood. When I work, I often do not know why something succeeds or fails. I have come to see this uncertainty as an essential part of the creative process. It allows intuition to guide the work and leaves room for unexpected possibilities.

My relationship to materials is shaped by the places where I have lived. I often use found objects and images, taking them out of their original context and giving them new meanings. I am interested in how appearance can influence memory and how familiar things can become strange when seen in a different context.

My work brings together fragments of the past, personal memories, and shared experiences. Through these combinations, I explore opposites: personal and collective, familiar and strange, past and present, certainty and doubt.

Ultimately, I am interested in the moment when something personal becomes something shared—when a private memory, image, or object begins to speak to a larger history.
