Claudia Goulet-Blais invites the public to experience the works she has created during her residency at Griffin Art Projects.

During her Griffin residency, Claudia has been working closely with her mother to create a new series of images, while also drawing from historical archives to explore how memory and familial relationships are inscribed through photographic and material forms. Her new research has included reading Susan Sontag’s On Women and Annie Parsons’s The Choreography of Everyday Life, which inform her reflections on the body’s language, intimacy, selfhood, and intergenerational connection. Shaped by acceptance, refusal, and transformation, the figures in her work remain intentionally ambiguous in their identities and roles.

At Open Studios, Claudia will present a range of new material and conceptual experiments, including an in-progress porcelain sculpture and her new photographic series.
