Through this body of works, the artist rekindles her ties to the territory in a direct, respectful manner, moving away from the anthropocentrism that marks our relationship to the environment. Where suffering meets the sublime, she puts nature, mankind, and the natural resources industry in relation through her use of natural materials like wood, fur, and glass. Themes such as overfishing, mining, and modern agriculture are depicted in her work.<\/p>\n<p>Materia is proud to pursue its mission by presenting the work of an emerging artist whose research on the cycle of life and death leads to art pieces imbued with poetry and memory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Ito La\u00efla Le Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong><br \/>\nWith two diplomas of collegial studies (DEC) in fine crafts (Techniques de m\u00e9tiers d\u2019art, sculpture and glass), Ito La\u00efla Le Fran\u00e7ois attaches a vital importance to ancient craftsmanship.
