Research Interests
Sara-Jeanne Bourget’s practice draws inspiration from nature’s cycles and phenomena. In her work, drawing and printmaking materials and methods unite and blur traditional understanding of both disciplines. Observing how non-human individuals mine their environment offers new perspectives to foster relationships with the world. She is interested in how repetition in seasonal shifts can give way to transformation. She often uses recycled charcoal and pastel drawings as a base for her own drawings, building images from excavated layers and marks.
