Artist Statement/ Biography

Caroline Cloutier researches the effects of light, space, and perceptual phenomena on our psyche through photography, installation, sculpture, and drawing. She blurs the lines between the second and third dimensions by photographing handcrafted compositions enhanced by sunlight. Cloutier often works with variations and series to highlight the fourth dimension (time). In her ongoing series, Life Flow, she uses saturated colours and sacred geometry to create energetic vibrations.

Her work reaffirms the timeless legacy of abstraction and humans' spiritual connection with geometry since ancient history. Her work gives us a renewed experience of how we perceive the physical world. She intertwines our known fourth-dimensional planes to broaden our perception of reality and, ultimately, open doors to life's metaphysics.
