Emeline Villedary is an artist, educator and mother based on the unceded territory of the Haudenosaunee Nation, colonially known as Rigaud, Quebec. Her work is woven at the threshold of the human and botanical works. Often asking question of belonging, her practice emerges through activation within the natural world, where the body and land become both subject and instrument.
Her work - spanning from painting, textile, collage and drawing- aims to illuminate the often invisible cycles of germination, bloom, decay and renewal. It weaves together concepts of belonging, of place and flora into a living shroud.
