Statement

This drawing stems from "Memoires de maison", an ongoing research-creation project based on interviews with poets (here, Bertrand Laverdure) about former homes. I took drawn notes during our conversation and used them to conceptualize a house from his memories. Drawing materializes lived experience as remembered and reimagined space.
