Mélanie Myers is a Francophone artist based in Gatineau, and was invited to be part of the exhibition by Heather Anderson, CUAG’s curator. You can hear her reflection on Mélanie’s artwork in Chapter 10. This chapter will give an overall description of Mélanie’s installation, and the next two chapters will go into more detail. Then you’ll hear from Melanie herself. This chapter is a minute long.
Mélanie’s installation is in the Main Gallery, along the wall that has very high ceilings. There are two pillars on either side of this section, and stairs to the right. Her installation consists of four parts, two on the wall and two freestanding in front of you. Each is made from papier mâché on which she has intricately drawn a lake and forest scene, similar to a stage set.
