Artist's
Statement:
Gagnon
questions the rapport we keep with the body, the self and nature.
Her belief that humans have become unnatural animals through their
own intelligence has led her to remind us of our primal fabric.
She uses symbols, metaphors and analogies as the threshold into
the world of the unconscious. She calls upon the universality of
personal experience and refers to instinct, feelings and sensations
to bring the viewer back to a more primitive period and possibly
trigger thoughts of ancestral memory.
In
the last decade, contemporary photographer Francine Gagnon has created
five distinct bodies of work presented in eight solo shows and over
25 group exhibits. Living and working in Montreal, her works have
been seen in Toronto, Boston, Guadalajara, Three-Rivers, Matane,
Amos
