Élise Dubé

Élise Dubé works with fibres to create two-dimensional works and site-specific installations. Using textile techniques as a common language, her practice is rooted in a relational approach in which the public becomes a central element in a creation process that explores an existing tension between  the impulse to destroy and the need to repair, to collect, and to tether. During her residency at Fonderie Darling she hopes to connect with young audiences through a participatory approach to cultural mediation activities.
