Statement

Marie-Soleil Provençal’s work addresses the relationships that we have with non-humans (such as natural phenomena and wildlife). As a sculptor, she does so by combining manufactured materials (such as concrete and discarded objects) with natural elements (such as hay and animal representations) into sculptures and site-specific installations. Inspired by popular science, she uses moulding, assembling and stencilling techniques to render complex ideas in the simplest form.
