This exhibition stems from the temporary collective formed by Isabelle Demers (Qu\u00e9bec City), Anouk Desloges (Toronto) and Emilie Proulx (Montr\u00e9al).

In this installation, a campsite is built with textile sculptures evoking tents. Through these works embellished with animal patterns and symbols, the artists explore the medium on a variety of objects, going beyond their personal practices.<\/p>\n<p>Materia is proud to pursue its mission by presenting the work of three artists who met in Qu\u00e9bec territory and who enrich each other with their research and technique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the artists<\/strong><br \/>\nHolding a master\u2019s degree in visual arts from the Universit\u00e9 Laval, <strong>Isabelle Demers<\/strong> melds together drawing, sculpture, and installation in her artistic practice.
