About the Art: "Looking at the fragmentation of land imposed by industrialization and sedentary lifestyle, these designs start resembling city maps and QR codes, as much as remaining true to the traditional weaving and beading that inspire them in the first place. They act as microchips that transfer knowledge across generations, hoping to offer a glimpse back and a path forward" - Caroline Monnet

Caroline Monnet (Anishinaabe/French) uses visual and media artsto demonstrate a keen interest in communicating complex ideas around Indigenous identity and bicultural living through the examination of cultural histories. Her work grapples with colonialism’s impact, updating outdated systems with Indigenous methodologies.
Monnet has made a signature for working with industrial materials, combining the vocabulary of popular and traditional visual-cultures with the tropes of modernist abstraction to create unique hybrid forms. Employing rigid lines and elemental materials, her work underscores the endurance of her culture’s visual language, tracing her roots to her own contemporaneity as a way to describe a dynamic and ever-evolving history. Monnet is always in the stage of experimentation and invention, both for herself and for the work.
