The artworks presented in the exhibition INHABITING consist of handmade paper created by Sarah Bertrand-Hamel through which the artist manipulates fibres, colours, textures and translucency. Stitches, folds or wrinkles become lines, letting drawings to appear.
Inspired by Gee’s Bend women’s contemporary quilts, Greco-Roman mosaics and medieval stained glass, the paper artworks are engaged with architecture. Sarah Bertrand-Hamel thinks of art as a means for inhabiting.
An important aspect of her practice is fragmentation. The fabric scraps, the stone tesserae, and the colour glass bits are here replaced by paper pieces.
Whether it is with her pencil or sewing machine, Sarah Bertrand-Hamel draws. Fascinated by impermanence and singularity, the artist creates images that she repeats and reinterprets, fragments and recomposes. She is interested in transitions and shifts between these images.
