Le ver creuse ses tunnels dans La pomme par laquelle je bois.

Maude Arès is an interdisciplinary artist. Working primarily through installation, her practice extends into sculpture, performance, scenography, and drawing. Her work explores sensitive relationships between found materials, creating vulnerable environments that invite close attention to the subtleties of tangible worlds. She reflects on the performative qualities of materials and the gestures that animate them, seeking to reveal visible and invisible interdependencies between humans and non-humans. Her projects have been presented in artist-run centres, theatres, and various events in Canada and Colombia.
