About this artwork
Mite was born in a moment of rupture.
As the fire finished cooking, the water rose.
A fire invaded the workshop, surrounded the oven, and broke the tool.
The material itself, however, remained.
At the heart of Parcelles et Reflets, Mite embodies this fragile zone where two opposing forces coexist: the transforming heat and the overflowing water. Its form is frozen in this precise moment, suspended between threat and solidification. The process… stopped there, definitively. It will never be glazed. This mineral nakedness is not a lack, but a trace.
Open, pleated, riddled with hollows and passages, Mite reads like a fragment of both body and landscape. A fragment that bears on its surface the memory of a real event. Its raw material, protected by a discreet matte varnish, preserves the layers of the gesture, the tensions of the moment, the reflections of a shock absorbed rather than denied.
Mite is not a closed form.
It is a threshold.
A remainder.
A solidified reflection.

Élise Thibault is a Canadian visual artist whose practice explores matter, the body, and states of inner tension. Through sculpture and painting, she develops organic and refined forms, shaped by gesture, slowness, and a particular attention to the surface.
Her work exists at the boundary between fragility and resilience. The pieces retain traces of the process and of time, allowing a silent presence to emerge. Matter becomes language, evoking transformation, restraint, and suspended movement.
Based in Drummondville, Quebec, Élise Thibault presented a solo exhibition in 2024. She currently maintains an active practice in creation and cultural mediation and is the founder of an art therapy program, L'art qui bâti (Art That Builds), for the Sainte-Croix Hospital in Drummondville, in collaboration with the adult psychiatry unit. A youth component is currently under development.
