Exposition : Suite Lichen de Chantal Harvey
Complexe Méduse
In the summer of 2022, Chantal Harvey met a couple of lichenologists from Duke University. With them, she went specimen collecting in the territory and had the privilege of observing different varieties of lichens under a microscope. This observation opened up a new world for her. Inspired by the science and passion of these two researchers, she continued her artistic research. Suite Lichen displays a colossal assembly of lichen prints on the gallery walls, modulating their compositions in harmony with the place and the space they occupy, while evoking their flourishing in nature. This work evokes, through cutting and superposition, the richness of natural textures. A set of matrices on the floor, slightly raised, will echo these murals. This work is accompanied by real lichens that are introduced into embossed and tinted papers recalling different textures of the natural environment where they are observed. They will form a set of miniature pieces, a sampling evoking the methodical research work of lichenologists but will also allow closer contact with nature as it is.
