Les vidéos du portefolio sont finalement visionables grâce à Julian Gollner. Faites-les jouer et revisitez bientôt pour de nouvelles oeuvres!
Much has happened since the Arborescence RED show this past spring. "A Plant Wedding" won the AAVA award for technical brilliance and was later screened in Toronto's NFB mediatheque for the 2008 TAIS showcase. Arborescence RED works were also exhibited for Studio XX's Matricules archive launch party.
I'm currently revisiting my red palette and bringing new textiles to the mix, which will then be animated into a video as performance thanks to a grant from Oboro.
Check back very soon for new paintings - and all my videos will finally be viewable here as of next week!

Il y a eu beaucoup d'action depuis l'expo Arborescence RED du printemps dernier. "Noces d'une Plante" a gagné le prix AAVA pour brillance technique et a joué à la médiathèque du NFB pour la sélection 2008 du TAIS à Toronto. Des oeuvres de Arborescence RED ont aussi étés exposés au lancement de l'archive Matricules du Studio XX.
Présentement, je revisite ma palette de rouges et j'expérimente avec de nouveaux tissus pour créer des images qui seront alors animés numériquement grâce à une bourse d'Oboro.
Revisitez le site bientôt pour de nouvelles peintures - et toutes mes vidéos seront finalement prêtes à visionner ici-même à partir de la semaine prochaine!

Check out Lise Treutler's awesome Indyish article on the Arborescence RED show:
"But what is “the environment?” Who — and how — are we to talk about it? Visual artist Annie Briard wants to encourage this more focused discussion and has set about doing so through works displayed in her current exhibit, Arborescence RED.
And thank goodness she’s doing so! Her work, which runs the gamut from painting to performance art to old-fashioned stitching, explores the ins and outs and various boundaries we as humans see when we consider ourselves either a part of or separate from the environment. "
