Last sunday...
I was finally off last Sunday….
Lets just say that is was weird week. I don’t know if its because school is about to start/has already started or because the price of gas is still going up, but the atmosphere at work was very negative. Not only our staff was tired, but our customers were very blunt and unhappy. It was hard to have a conversation with them.
Anyways, what I’m...

Art is so expensive! I went to buy frames at Ikea last night and I ended up paying 80$ for only 5 frames of 8x10…My pictures are not even printed…
Being a student/artist is hard….

Artist Statement: Sex Sheets
Le vêtement pour plusieurs jeunes filles et jeunes femmes devient l’emballage corporel qui détermine son identité en société. Nous pensons à cet emballage qui fait en sorte qu’elles appartiennent à une catégorie, un groupe, une culture et mê me un genre. Le v êtement recouvre la peau, les membres et le sexe. Lorsque le corps se dévoile, il est alors privé de son identité sociale. Les...

Go big or go home
I can’t imagine I did this… Haha! I applied for a call for submission in Greece. It’s for an international photography festival held in October. Wouldn’t it be nice if I were selected? To be expose in Greece!!! I would take the first plane!
Ok ok I’ll stop dreaming, I don’t want to get my hopes up, but still you never know, and if you never try the...

One of my co-worker pulled her back last week so I had to go in for her…It’s fine I really enjoy money!
I needed some lol…I went shopping with my mom last Thursday and I had a blast! I love her so much! She’s my role model! She’s the reason why I love art art so much.
My mom is an art teacher. When I was younger I would sit quietly beside her while she was drawing....

Interesting photography!
what a weekend it was!
My weekend was just insane….well like most weekends actually.
I spent my Friday night alone, but it’s fine because I actually had time to work on some photos I took a while ago. I have been invited via a facebook event for a call for submission. There are asking for a specific theme, and I happen to have a series of pictures that fits the description. So I’ll be photoshopping a...

Artist Statement: Octuplet Series
Statement :
Les opposés s’attirent? Peut-être! Est-ce qu’ils se marient bien ensemble? Voilà comment le grotesque fonctionne: une description satirique qui tend vers l’exagération. L’intention principale d’Isabelle Poirier est de créer un pont entre la beauté et la laideur en épluchant les canons de beauté actuels tout en explorant les barrières entre réel et l’irréel. À partir de...
