Mining—On the Horizon

About the Artist: Sara-Jeanne Bourget’s drawing and printmaking practice is led by a fascination for the tactile and metaphorical richness of handmade charcoal. Working primarily with naturally sourced charcoal that she makes following a set of self-given rules, she inquires how a deep-seated awareness of materials is rooted in the intimate knowledge of their provenance, fabrication, and uses. Bourget (b. Levis, QC) holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University (2015) and an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (2019). She is currently a sessional faculty member in the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University.
