Margueritte is a neurodiverse artist primarily based in Ottawa, Canada. Her work is knowledgeable by rising up in Northern Ontario, with underlying themes of id, time, and impermanence. “Landfall” was created with folks from her personal neighborhood and the locations she seeks solace and refuge. The undertaking highlights Margueritte’s lived expertise navigating an unsure world with invisible disabilities:
“This work expresses the nuance of binaries, how psychological well being just isn’t static. Our environments, residing situations, employment, and even the climate play a job. Folks have their very own pure rhythms, and generally the calls for of societal buildings are inflexible and unyielding, superseding their private wants. ‘Landfall’ brings consideration to conversations surrounding psychological well being by illustrating its steady, cyclical presence and difficult typical narratives about this common human expertise.”
