Marilou Chagnaud, Fold Unfold, 2021

Created in response to the gallery’s site, Shifting Spaces explores how simple geometric patterns transform a space and create new perspectives. Screen printed works on paper and a site-responsive installation respond to each other, immersing the viewer in a dynamic and contemplative environment. Drawing on architecture and principles of repetition, the installation plays with notions of dimensionality, in-between space and movement.

Marilou Chagnaud is a Canberra based artist. Her practice spans printmaking, sculpture and site responsive installation. Chagnaud graduated with a Master of Art from the Ecole Superieure d’Art d’Aix-en-Provence (2008) and went on to complete a Diploma of Textile Design in Montreal (2015). Her work combines a minimal aesthetic with delicate material such as paper and textile to explore movement, perception and spatiality. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions including at ANCA (2020), Canberra Museum and Gallery (2018), Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre (2018) and ANU SOAD Gallery (2017).
