This world-renowned weaver, recipient of the Order of Québec in 2015, co-founded the Centre des textiles contemporains de Montréal with Régine Mainberger and served as its director until 2012. From photographic pixel to jacquard weaving, her works are inspired by dancers. She is interested in their work itself - in the movement, the energy - and she brings them into her natural and sometimes industrial environments. Her large-scale works on industrial trades inhabit space and bear witness to the efforts of someone who practises one of the oldest trades on earth and yet creates bridges with new technologies.Presented as part of the 2016 International Triennial of Textile Arts in the OutaouaisIn collaboration with the Moon Rain Centre.. 120 Principale StreetGatineau, QC J9H 3M3..
