Steffie Boucher
Steffie Boucher (she/they) is a black queer visual artist from the Caribbean, located in Montreal.
Her main interests revolve around structures, urban and body architectures. The dancing body inspires her, she is seeking to include it in their works, to evoke it. This dancing body calls, just as nature. To discern multiple architectures and geometries in everything, to create new ones based on what exists, is the core of Steffie’s audiovisual research. Trees are obsessively dwelling within the artist; she’s attempting to make them reveal the secret of her obsession by capturing them: a strange thing to realize that most of her life, her body has lived in the city and struggles to stay away from it.
Her heart and soul, to nature.
