Exhibition Text by Bronwyn Watson

//

Having grown up in the forests of the St. Lawrence Lowlands, and now living in the heart of urban density in Paris, Cassandre Boucher reflects on the connections that unite human and nature. Within the Wider Landscape blends printed works and woven textiles to evoke contact with nature as a source of sensory and emotional experiences.

Delicate, colored papers with diaphanous transparency sit alongside wide-meshed textiles that allow light to pass through. Folded and crumpled, sometimes torn, intertwined, and hand-woven in other places, they reveal fragments of photographic images. A wayward tree has fallen across the road; hands begin their weaving; the field of flowers has become a drape. Within the Wider Landscape calls for slow contemplation and introspection, an invitation to dive into our memories and consider the natural spaces that surround us in their entirety as places of interaction and interdependence.
