When I find something new and awesome, I get excited again and the creative flow comes back naturally! Also, I feel like my work is often a response to whatever is happening in my own life, even though this is for the most part unconscious. For instance, after I moved to the biggest city in Canada, I started to develop an interest in the sociological aspect of gardens and how they represent a haven of peace away from the turmoil of the city. I didn\u2019t make the connection at the time when I started the body of work, but now that I think about it, it totally makes sense!<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question3\">Do you have a motto or creed that as an artist you live by?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">Do not procrastinate because you are afraid.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question4\">How do you come up with ideas?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">I usually write a lot. I am a pretty rational person and every element of my work needs to make sense and to be there for a reason. Sometimes I wish that I could be spontaneous and improvisational with my artwork, but it is just not natural for me. Therefore I go through a research phase, I reflect and write about my topic, and then the designs are almost a rational response to my reflections.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question5\">What project\/art are you hoping to create but haven\u2019t got chance to do yet?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">As I started to work more and more with paper, I have been dying to get into paper making. This is definitely something I would love to incorporate in my work. As much as I love working with metal, I feel like it is becoming sort of my default material. However, I do feel sometimes like some other materials could better capture the essence of what I want to communicate.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question6\">Is there a childhood experience that has helped shape the kind of work you do today?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">As I child, I spent a lot of time with my dad, who was a physics teacher, learning how things worked and how things were made. I feel like he played a determining role in developing my obsession with mechanisms and all things that move!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belonging and Intimacy Marie-Eve G.
