Maude Deslauriers

Maude Deslauriers works and lives in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, where she is currently completing her master’s in painting and drawing at Concordia University. Her recent work references traditional botanical illustrations in which the specimen has been dissected to reveal microscopic anatomical details. However, as opposed to these images, which essentially bear witness to their subject’s death, Deslauriers’s drawings, paintings and bas-reliefs document an intimate, imagined vision of an interior inhabited by forms that are unmistakably coming to life.
