Maude Arsenault Email & Phone Number

Maude is a Canadian photographer, artist and curator who's body of work invest the themes of construction of female identity, private spaces, domesticity and intimacy through a documentary, collage and portraiture approach. Through her work she reflects on the current social condition of the female gender, a state that compels us to question the foundations to which young women today refer in the way they form and shape. As an artist and mother and the way social structures and history are imposing on us certain schemas and blameworthiness, Maude questions how the traditional patriarchy models implies on girls and women, ideals that still today in 2020, can results in disappointment, lack of confidence and mental health issues.
