Ces derniers r\u00e9f\u00e8rent \u00e0 l\u2019identit\u00e9 qu\u2019impose la pr\u00e9sence des petites choses dans notre environnement. Je cherche \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des sc\u00e9nographies intimes de l\u2019incertitude et de l\u2019impasse.<\/p>\n<p>Communiquer l\u2019effet du tourment m\u2019int\u00e9resse. Je cherche \u00e0 faire des objets une forme d\u2019\u00e9criture et de langage. Ils imposent la po\u00e9sie au r\u00e9el et confrontent leur r\u00e9alit\u00e9 usuelle \u00e0 une myst\u00e9rieuse pr\u00e9sence.<\/p>\n<p>La fibre est au c\u0153ur de ma d\u00e9marche. Le tissu se transpose en acteur narratif. Son \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re constitution \u00e9voque une r\u00e9\u00e9criture formelle de mes propositions artistiques.<\/p>\n<p>Le tissu peut \u00eatre \u00e0 la fois un v\u00eatement, un rideau ou un drap et \u00eatre en m\u00eame temps un symbole d\u2019individualit\u00e9 et une autre manifestation de langage. Un rideau peut \u00eatre un passage ou une obstruction, un v\u00eatement peut \u00eatre un masque social ou personnel&#8230; Dans ma recherche, il subit assur\u00e9ment une transfiguration qui laisse croire qu\u2019il devient le creux ou les entrailles et qu\u2019il peut prendre sens comme dans un r\u00e9cit narratif.<\/p>\n<p>Aussi il y a des objets personnels (bijoux, peluches, fleurs, rubans, gants \u2026) qui prennent part dans mes \u0153uvres. Ils sont une sorte d\u2019ancrage spirituel. D\u2019une valeur symbolique et affective tr\u00e8s forte, ils sont des marqueurs existentiels d\u2019histoires personnelles.<\/p>\n<p>J\u2019interroge des th\u00e8mes oppositionnels comme le d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre et la stabilit\u00e9, l\u2019inadaptation et la solidit\u00e9, la tension et la chute, les r\u00eaves et les cauchemars, le flottement et l\u2019affirmation\u00a0: ce sont des antagonismes marquant l\u2019inconfort qui conditionne la fragilit\u00e9 dans nos rapports. Je sonde le pouls des maux de ma soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Pour moi cr\u00e9er c\u2019est scruter ma r\u00e9alit\u00e9 sociale autrement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>My research often reveals itself as introspective tales. They are reference to the identity imposed upon by the presence of smaller things in our environment. I look to create intimate scenes of incertitude, deadlock.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It interests me to communicate the effects of torment. I look to hold objects as a form of writing, language. Objects impress poetry onto reality and confront that commonplace reality with their mysterious presence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Textiles are at the heart of my study. The fabric is transposed to an acting narrative. Its ephemeral constitution begs a ponderous re-write of my artistic propositions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fabric can be clothing, a curtain or a sheet, whilst being a passage or obstruction. A piece of clothing may inspire a social or personal disguise \u2026 . Throughout my research, the piece will have, of course, undergone a transfiguration, which allows us to believe in its depths, or its entrails and that it may become that sense, sentiment, as if a spoken narrative.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There are also personal items, (jewellery, teddies, flowers, ribbon, gloves\u2026) which are part of my work. They act as a sort of spiritual anchoring. Their strong symbolic and affective values are personal, historic, existential markers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I question opposing themes such as imbalance and stability, maladjustment and solidity, tension and collapse, dreams and nightmares, wavering and affirmation, antagonists designing discomfort, which marks the frailty of relations. Fingers on the pulse of our society\u2019s\u2019 ills.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Creating is probing my social reality differently.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bio_photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-90 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bio_photo.jpg\" alt=\"bio_photo\" width=\"1122\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bio_photo.jpg 998w, https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bio_photo-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bio_photo-700x489.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1122px) 100vw, 1122px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; BIOGRAPHIE \/ BIOGRAPHY &nbsp; Plusieurs\u00a0fois boursi\u00e8re du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec pour ses recherches et cr\u00e9ations, Marie France Cournoyer d\u00e9tient un baccalaur\u00e9at ainsi qu\u2019une ma\u00eetrise en arts visuels et m\u00e9diatiques de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":74,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16794,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19\/revisions\/16794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariefrancecournoyer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
