Carole Baillargeon’s textile art reflects a deep connection to nature through natural dyes and recycled materials from her home environment in Deschambault-Grondines. Her works embody the tangible and temporal aspects of home, presenting it as a harmonious coexistence with our surroundings and emphasizing traditional knowledge and environmental awareness.

Marilyne Bissonnette’s sculptural works explore the duality of pleasure and harshness within the concept of home. Inspired by fairy tales, her installations, such as "Pains and Exaltations," juxtapose whimsical elements with unsettling undertones. This mirrors the complex nature of home as a place of comfort and conflict, evoking cherished memories and underlying tensions, and prompting reflection on our impact on the environment and animal welfare.

Incorporating her indigenous origins and personal experiences, Riesbri's pieces resonate with cultural heritage and personal identity. This reflects the evolving nature of home, shaped by individual experiences and cultural contexts.

Heidi Taillefer's paintings blend classical art with surrealism to explore life's philosophical themes. Influenced by technology and biology, her work merges traditional and modern elements, reflecting our complex world. Using animal portraits, she highlights concerns about technology's impact, showing how it shapes our homes, interactions, and identities. Her art invites us to reflect on how these changes affect our understanding of being human.
