by: Maryse Arseneault

From a limited series of 20 serigraphs retouched in watercolor, this edition of prints for the Art en boite fundraiser at Atelier d’estampe Imago explored the colors and atmosphere of a rainy day. We see a superposition of wild rose buds taken from my daily drawings in 2020, a year lived in slow motion, where I documented the plants around me, attempting to learn their dance. The rhythms of the blue-gray shading and the accents of red represent this dance and that of the rain on a gloomy end of winter walk.

Maryse Arseneault

Acadian multidisciplinary artist and independent curator, Maryse Arseneault (born 1981) holds a BFA from Université de Moncton and a Masters in Studio Arts from Concordia University. Grounded in eco-feminist theory, her recent projects examine notions of alienation and stewardship, while she questions her role as an artist on unceded Mi’kmaki, where she currently resides. Adopting forms of slow activism, she confronts memory and psychogeography in relation to our feelings of belonging, and how our investment in these spaces can disrupt colonial mindsets. 2019 recipient of a Canada Council for the Arts creation grant and a lecturer in media arts at the Université de Moncton since 2020, Arseneault pursues her artistic interventions mainly through performance, drawing and audio-video.
