Amélie Papillon

I grew up in the great neighborhood that is Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, in Montréal, before moving to Rimouski to complete a Master's in Oceanography on zooplankton biodiversity in the St-Laurent Estuary. I left the region to come back to Montréal, a city I have a lot of love for, where I now work through art mediation and create work with different mediums, mostly ceramics, inspired by nature and the communities around me. I love the the sculptural aspect of ceramics, allowing me to reveal organic shapes and familiar faces through clay. My interests include science communication through arts focusing on conservation and social justice.
