Michelle Caron-Pawlowsky

Michelle Caron-Pawlowsky’s work is concerned with the material possibilities of images. Through the use of a multidisciplinary, installation-based approach that often combines photography, alternative printing processes, textiles, ceramics, and text, they experiment with the meanings that arise when an image is given a re-established physical presence. Their practice is both diaristic and informed by research into subjects such as geopoetics, queer ecology, folklore, species extinction, poetry, and witchcraft, navigating the space between the human and the non-human, the real and the mythic, the individual and the collective. They are fascinated by the power of sentimental value and the ways humans write themselves into their natural environments. Their current research focuses on folklore and explores the significance of the devil in classic Québecois folktales.
