Curriculum vitae

​

​A Montréal native and resident, I am an inter-arts artist-composer who frequently collaborates with scientists, activists, and other artists to explore environmental issues, particularly solastalgia, the distress caused by the lived experience of environmental change.
My multimedia work often includes the composition of graphic scores and their performance; these works are often presented with my research materials, including video, notebooks, paintings, photographs, drawings, assemblages, and field recordings.
These scores are usually performed by musicians, even symphonies, although I am a non-musician and use no traditional musical notation. I see these scores as a synthesis of my obsessive research, recording the essences of an environment and marking its transformation.
My work has been supported by Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), and private foundations, and is in private/public collections in Canada (notably, the Canadian Woman Composers Archive), the USA, and Europe.
