Happy 2026 New Year!<br /><br />&#8203;This year, I want to work with matter itself &mdash; not just pigments or paper, but the overlooked, the discarded, the things that don&rsquo;t belong in the places they end up. I want to use found objects to speak about how pollution infiltrates habitats, how it hides inside the cycles of the seasons, how it enters the bodies of animals and the quiet places we think are untouched.<br /><br />I feel called to create installation sculptures that shift with the seasons. Winter, spring, summer, autumn &mdash; each one revealing a different layer of intrusion.<br /><br /><br />Cette ann&eacute;e, je veux travailler avec la mati&egrave;re elle&#8209;m&ecirc;me &mdash; pas seulement les pigments ou le papier, mais ce qui est oubli&eacute;, rejet&eacute;, d&eacute;plac&eacute;, les choses qui n&rsquo;appartiennent pas aux lieux o&ugrave; elles se retrouvent. Je veux utiliser des objets trouv&eacute;s pour parler de la fa&ccedil;on dont la pollution infiltre les habitats, comment elle se cache dans les cycles des saisons, comment elle entre dans les corps des animaux et dans les lieux silencieux que l&rsquo;on croit intacts.<br /><br />Je me sens appel&eacute;e &agrave; cr&eacute;er des sculptures&#8209;installations qui changent avec les saisons.<br />Hiver, printemps, &eacute;t&eacute;, automne &mdash; chacune r&eacute;v&eacute;lant une couche diff&eacute;rente d&rsquo;intrusion.<br /><br />En hiver, les objets sont &agrave; demi enfouis, d&eacute;guis&eacute;s par la neige, pr&eacute;tendant faire partie du paysage.<br />Au printemps, ils &eacute;mergent avec la fonte, emm&ecirc;l&eacute;s dans les racines et le ruissellement.<br />En &eacute;t&eacute;, ils reposent ouvertement &agrave; la surface, expos&eacute;s et ind&eacute;niables.<br />En automne, ils se m&ecirc;lent aux feuilles tomb&eacute;es, devenant presque naturels dans leur &eacute;tranget&eacute;.<br /><br />Je veux recueillir ces objets avec intention &mdash; fragments de plastique, m&eacute;tal rouill&eacute;, fil de p&ecirc;che, bouchons, fils, outils bris&eacute;s, choses port&eacute;es par le vent ou l&rsquo;eau. Non pas pour accuser ou bl&acirc;mer, mais pour t&eacute;moigner. Pour montrer &agrave; quel point les d&eacute;bris humains deviennent facilement partie du monde animal, d&rsquo;un nid, d&rsquo;un terrier, d&rsquo;un estomac.<br /><br />Mes installations utiliseront des objets trouv&eacute;s pour r&eacute;v&eacute;ler ce que la terre absorbe, ce qu&rsquo;elle rejette et ce qu&rsquo;elle porte en silence. Je veux sortir de ma zone de confort, mais d&rsquo;une mani&egrave;re qui reste s&ucirc;re, ancr&eacute;e et vraie.<br /><br />---<br /><br />&#10023; 1. Explorer un nouvel environnement (doucement, en s&eacute;curit&eacute;)<br /><br />&bull; Visiter un lieu inconnu &mdash; un rivage, un sentier forestier, une petite ville, une galerie.<br />&bull; Cr&eacute;er une &oelig;uvre inspir&eacute;e de cet environnement.<br />&bull; Laisser la curiosit&eacute; guider sans perdre mon ancrage.<br /><br />&#10023; 2. Travailler avec des objets trouv&eacute;s comme mati&egrave;re<br /><br />&bull; Collecter des objets rejet&eacute;s avec intention : fragments de plastique, m&eacute;tal rouill&eacute;, fil de p&ecirc;che, bouchons, fils.<br />&bull; Les utiliser pour exprimer comment la pollution infiltre les habitats et les cycles saisonniers.<br />&bull; Laisser l&rsquo;abeille &ecirc;tre un guide symbolique &mdash; fragile, essentielle, menac&eacute;e.<br /><br />&#10023; 3. Cr&eacute;er une s&eacute;rie d&rsquo;installations saisonni&egrave;res<br /><br />&bull; Hiver : objets &agrave; demi enfouis, d&eacute;guis&eacute;s par la neige.<br />&bull; Printemps : objets qui &eacute;mergent avec la fonte.<br />&bull; &Eacute;t&eacute; : objets expos&eacute;s, ind&eacute;niables.<br />&bull; Automne : objets m&ecirc;l&eacute;s aux feuilles, presque naturels dans leur &eacute;tranget&eacute;.<br /><br />&#10023; 4. Essayer une mati&egrave;re l&eacute;g&egrave;rement inconfortable<br /><br />&bull; Sable, fil, sacs color&eacute;s ou morceaux de tissu, fil m&eacute;tallique, brindilles, roches, styromousse&hellip;<br />&bull; Laisser l&rsquo;inconfort devenir curiosit&eacute;.<br /><br />&#10023; 5. Cr&eacute;er une &oelig;uvre qui semble &laquo; trop audacieuse &raquo;<br /><br />&bull; Plus grande, plus color&eacute;e, plus contrast&eacute;e, ou plus vuln&eacute;rable.<br />&bull; Une pi&egrave;ce qui me surprend.<br /><br />&#10023; 6. Partager quelque chose<br /><br />&bull; Un croquis, un moment de processus, un fragment de texte.<br />&bull; Un risque doux.<br /><br />&#10023; 7. Collaborer une fois<br /><br />&bull; Avec quelqu&rsquo;un en qui j&rsquo;ai confiance &mdash; artiste, &eacute;crivaine, musicien, photographe.<br />&bull; Une petite collaboration qui &eacute;largit mon monde.<br /><br />&#10023; 8. Visiter un espace d&rsquo;art hors de ma r&eacute;gion<br /><br />&bull; Une galerie, un mus&eacute;e ou un centre d&rsquo;artistes.<br />&bull; Laisser un autre &eacute;cosyst&egrave;me artistique m&rsquo;influencer.<br /><br />&#10023; 9. Cr&eacute;er une s&eacute;rie bas&eacute;e sur une &eacute;motion que j&rsquo;&eacute;vite habituellement<br /><br />&bull; Le d&eacute;sir, la joie, l&rsquo;incertitude, la nostalgie, l&rsquo;agitation.<br />&bull; Laisser l&rsquo;&eacute;motion guider la palette et la forme.<br /><br />&#10023; 10. Permettre une exp&eacute;rience incontr&ocirc;l&eacute;e<br /><br />&bull; Encre sur encre, pigment de glace fondante, charbon tir&eacute; par le vent.<br />&bull; Laisser le hasard co&#8209;cr&eacute;er avec moi.<br /><br />&#10023; 11. Soumettre mon travail &agrave; une opportunit&eacute;<br /><br />&bull; Un appel d&rsquo;artistes, une petite exposition, une vitrine num&eacute;rique.<br />&bull; Assez pour m&rsquo;&eacute;tirer, sans m&rsquo;accabler.<br /><br />&#10023; 12. Cr&eacute;er un &laquo; rituel de courage &raquo;<br /><br />&bull; Une respiration, une phrase, une bougie, un geste.<br />&bull; Un rappel que l&rsquo;expansion peut &ecirc;tre s&ucirc;re, lente et choisie.<br /><br />&#8203;In winter, objects are half&#8209;buried, disguised by snow, pretending to be part of the landscape. In spring, they emerge with the melt, tangled in roots and runoff. In summer, they sit boldly on the surface, exposed and undeniable. In autumn, they blend again with fallen leaves, becoming almost natural in their wrongness.<br /><br />I want to collect these objects with intention &mdash; plastic fragments, rusted metal, fishing line, bottle caps, threads, broken tools, things carried by wind or water. Not to shame or accuse, but to witness. To show how easily human debris becomes part of an animal&rsquo;s world, part of a nest, a burrow, a stomach.<br /><br />My installations will use found objects to reveal what the land absorbs, what it rejects, and what it quietly carries. I want to expand beyond my comfort zone, but in a way that feels safe, grounded, and true.<br /><br />---<br /><br />&#10023; 1. Explore a New Environment (Gently, Safely) &bull; Visit one unfamiliar place &mdash; a shoreline, a forest trail, a small town, a gallery. &bull; Create one artwork inspired by that environment. &bull; Let curiosity lead without losing my grounding.<br /><br />&#10023; 2. Work With Found Objects as Material &bull; Collect discarded objects with intention: plastic fragments, rusted metal, fishing line, bottle caps, threads. &bull; Use them to express how pollution infiltrates habitats and seasonal cycles. &bull; Let the bee be a symbolic guide &mdash; fragile, essential, threatened.<br /><br />&#10023; 3. Create a Seasonal Installation Series &bull; Winter: objects half&#8209;buried, disguised by snow. &bull; Spring: objects emerging with the melt. &bull; Summer: objects exposed, undeniable. &bull; Autumn: objects blending with leaves, almost natural in their wrongness.<br /><br />&#10023; 4. Try a Material That Feels Slightly Uncomfortable &bull; Sand, thread, coloured bags or pieces of fabric, wire, twigs, rocks, styrofoam&hellip; &bull; Let the discomfort become curiosity.<br /><br />&#10023; 5. Make One Artwork That Feels &ldquo;Too Bold&rdquo; &bull; Larger scale, brighter colour, more contrast, or more vulnerability. &bull; A piece that surprises me.<br /><br />&#10023; 6. Share Something &bull; A sketch, a process moment, a fragment of text. &bull; A gentle risk.<br /><br />&#10023; 7. Collaborate Once &bull; With someone I trust &mdash; an artist, writer, musician, photographer. &bull; A small collaboration that expands my world.<br /><br />&#10023; 8. Visit One Art Space Outside My Region &bull; A gallery, museum, or artist&#8209;run centre. &bull; Let another artistic ecosystem influence me.<br /><br />&#10023; 9. Create a Series Based on an Emotion I Usually Avoid &bull; Longing, joy, uncertainty, nostalgia, restlessness. &bull; Let emotion guide palette and form.<br /><br />&#10023; 10. Allow One Uncontrolled Experiment &bull; Wet&#8209;on&#8209;wet ink, melting ice pigment, wind&#8209;drawn charcoal. &bull; Let chance co&#8209;create with me.<br /><br />&#10023; 11. Submit My Work to One Opportunity &bull; A call for artists, a small exhibition, a digital showcase. &bull; Enough to stretch me, not overwhelm me.<br /><br />&#10023; 12. Create a &ldquo;Courage Ritual&rdquo; &bull; A breath, a phrase, a candle, a gesture. &bull; A reminder that expansion can be safe, slow, and chosen.</h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog Judydcreates]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/blog-judydcreates]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/blog-judydcreates#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2025 21:10:04 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/blog-judydcreates</guid><description><![CDATA[December exhibition and Christmas marketThis December, I was present in two vibrant spaces that connect art, ecology, and community.From December 1 to 31, my recent paintings are exhibited at Galerie Josette Tilmant in Saint&#8209;Sauveur.

Ten canvases inspired by northern landscapes and Montr&eacute;al roots invite reflection on ecological realities, offering a calm, festive pause for visitors and holiday travelers.<br /><br />On December 6, I will be there in person at the Matagami Christmas Market, selling my 2026 bilingual art calendars, art cards, and a selection of small and medium paintings. These creations are &nbsp; thought<br />&nbsp;as gifts that carry ecological themes into daily life&mdash;artworks that nourish and celebrate the season.</em><br /><br />As a member of VaHumania animators within the network of Tourisme Baie&#8209;James, my practice is rooted in the region&rsquo;s cultural and ecological identity. Visitors can also discover the territory&rsquo;s experiences and attractions through Tourism Baie&#8209;James, Eeyou Istchee Baie&#8209;James, that showcase events, landscapes, and regional vitality baiejames.ca&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />December becomes a bridge between gallery walls and market tables, between contemplation and celebration. I look forward to meeting you, sharing stories, and marking the holidays with art that connects.<br /><br /><u>Exposition de d&eacute;cembre &amp; March&eacute; de No&euml;l</u><br /><br />En d&eacute;cembre, je suis pr&eacute;sente dans deux espaces vivants qui relient l&rsquo;art, l&rsquo;&eacute;cologie et la communaut&eacute;.<br /><br />Du 1er au 31 d&eacute;cembre, mes toiles r&eacute;centes sont expos&eacute;es &agrave; la Galerie Josette Tilmant &agrave; Saint&#8209;Sauveur. Dix &oelig;uvres inspir&eacute;es des paysages nordiques et de mes racines montr&eacute;alaises invitent &agrave; r&eacute;fl&eacute;chir aux r&eacute;alit&eacute;s &eacute;cologiques, offrant une pause festive et contemplative aux visiteurs.<br /><br />Le 6 d&eacute;cembre, je serai sur place au March&eacute; de No&euml;l de Matagami, o&ugrave; je vendrai mes calendriers bilingues 2026, cartes artistiques et une s&eacute;lection de petites et moyennes toiles. Ces cr&eacute;ations sont pens&eacute;es comme des cadeaux porteurs de th&egrave;mes &eacute;cologiques dans la vie quotidienne&mdash;des &oelig;uvres qui nourrissent et c&eacute;l&egrave;brent la saison.<br /><br />Comme membre des animateurs VaHumania, au sein du r&eacute;seau de Tourisme Baie&#8209;James, ma pratique s&rsquo;enracine dans l&rsquo;identit&eacute; culturelle et &eacute;cologique du territoire. Les visiteurs peuvent explorer les exp&eacute;riences et les attractions via Tourisme Baie&#8209;James, Eeyou Istchee Baie&#8209;James et Attraction Baie&#8209;James (Unique au Nord), qui mettent en valeur les &eacute;v&eacute;nements, les paysages et la vitalit&eacute; r&eacute;gionale baiejames.ca&nbsp;<br /><br />D&eacute;cembre devient un pont : entre les murs de la galerie et les tables du march&eacute;, entre la contemplation et la c&eacute;l&eacute;bration. J&rsquo;ai h&acirc;te de vous rencontrer, d&rsquo;&eacute;changer et de marquer les f&ecirc;tes par un art qui relie.<br /><br /><br />Further resources and networks<br /><br />&bull; Tourisme Baie&#8209;James: Official ATR and regional tourism leader<br />https://tourismebaiejames.com/home-page/Sources: &nbsp;tourismebaie...<br />&bull; Eeyou Istchee Baie&#8209;James: Regional experiences, culture, and attractions<br />https://www.eeyouistcheebaiejames.com/en/Sources: &nbsp;eeyouistchee...<br />&bull; Attraction Baie&#8209;James (Unique au Nord): Regional identity, living, and working in Baie&#8209;James<br />https://baiejames.ca/Sources: &nbsp;baiejames.ca<br />&bull; Eco&#8209;art and sustainability media (Qu&eacute;bec):&bull; &Eacute;co&#8209;Magazine Territoire: https://laruchequebec.com/fr/projets/eco-magazine-territoire<br />&bull; Debu Magazine &ndash; Eco&#8209;Art: https://www.debu.ca/arts-culture/the-rise-of-eco-art/<br />&bull; Conseil des arts de Montr&eacute;al &ndash; Eco&#8209;responsibility: https://www.artsmontreal.org/actualites/le-conseil-recompense-les-pratiques-ecoresponsables</strong>/</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[December 04th, 2025]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/december-04th-2025]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/december-04th-2025#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2025 21:06:10 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.judydcreates.com/art-communities-communaute/december-04th-2025</guid><description><![CDATA[ [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
