Marc Courtemanche (L’Ange-Gardien, QC) works with clay as if it were wood to create sculpture and installation. The trompe l’oeil quality of his works, which incorporate metal parts of hand tools, confuses the eye and foregrounds materiality, process, perception, and representation. Couretemanche completed a BFA at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1999 and MFA at the University of Regina in 2004. Courtemanche has participated in exhibitions at the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Ottawa Art Gallery, and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art.
