Michele Marcoux Biography

---

Painting restructures what I see, how I remember. I am inspired by landscapes, often remote, disused, or abandoned, where structures merge with nature; materials erode. The physical evidence of the past disintegrates, yet the story of these places remains powerful.

Histories, literature, found objects and images are starting points for my paintings. I often take these ideas out into the landscape where nature provides a counterpoint to memory, an opportunity to experiment. Colour, collage, composition, mark making create fragmentations, reveal patterns of time, the character of a place. In the studio, these images derived from observation are further developed. I want to create a dynamic abstract structure, a sense of mystery.

Originally from Ohio I came to Scotland in 1990. For many people who migrate, ‘identity’, ‘place’, ‘home’ shift, feel transitory. My work draws on this experience of displacement to look for hidden stories, to disrupt nostalgic narratives.
