Sandra Veillette's artistic universe unfolds through her innovative use of natural elements. The artist often describes herself as a sculptor-gatherer, as nature provides not only the raw materials from which she creates her works, but also an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Each piece is the result of a lengthy process that usually begins with a central element that sparks her imagination. This is often a piece of wood whose unique shape evokes a body in motion or a particularly expressive pose. It may also embody a physical characteristic that gives the character an unconventional personality. Additional elements are then added, selected, and transformed so as to achieve a delicate balance between shapes, colours, and textures. Various assemblage techniques, refined over the years, are used to ensure the solidity of the work while allowing for a harmonious combination of its components. Although faceless, the characters created by the artist exude a singular evocative power. Within this anonymity lies an intense presence, which speaks solely through the power of form and gesture. The absence of faces also opens up a space for interpretation, where each viewer can project their own emotions and memories. Presented alone or in groups, these figures occupy the space with dignity, compelling us to pause and reconnect with the infinite riches that nature has to offer.
