Enjoy a talk with Rachelle Bussières, a French-Canadian artist based in New York whose practice investigates perception, time, and the natural world through a sensory and material exploration between photography and sculpture. Holding an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, she has exhibited across North America and Europe—including the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Turkey—and has participated in residencies such as the Banff Centre, Penumbra Foundation, Headlands Center for the Arts, and Silver Art Projects. Grounded in analog darkroom processes, her work integrates scientific observation and intuitive experience by treating time and light as collaborators. Using silver gelatin paper exposed to controlled light sources over durations ranging from seconds to days, she allows images to form through the direct influence of light, time, and environmental conditions. The resulting surfaces record.
