Born in Ormstown, Quebec, Anne-Marie Giroux earned her BFA from Concordia University in Montreal. She worked primarily in the intersection of contemporary dance, sculpture-performance, film and art video before focusing her practice on the visual arts. The artist creates conceptual projects through painting, sculpture and installation. Favouring poetic expression, she explores the relationship between body, material, object, being or state of being and movement-what she calls “body-matter”. Since 2014, she has been working around the theme of “human and artistic drift” that will be revealed over time as a triptych with the Drift series (2014-2018), the Drifting series (2017-2018) and the Drifts installation (2019). She has exhibited in the United States and in Canada. Her work is part of private and public collections, notably at MONA, the Museum of New Art in Detroit.
