The artist
Carole Baillargeon
Deschambault-Grondines
As a multidisciplinary textile artist, my use of handmade paper, natural dyes and their derivatives marks a commitment associated with neo-materialist philosophical thought, which highlights traditional knowledge by advocating a new balance between humans and materials, between the memory of previous generations and a renewal.
Drawing inspiration from cultural and social heritage, I treat my subjects with my visual language: a schematization of shapes, an abundance of textures, an expressiveness of gesture. The use of structural codes drawn from different fields inspires me to compositions and representations where iteration inevitably takes place.
