Le Repos de la Guerrière
Une vie dédiée à l’art et à la beauté est le principe directeur de Marili Clark dans ses intérêts artistiques : photographie, dessin, peinture et performance en tant qu’actrice et chanteuse. Observatrice curieuse et empathique de la condition humaine, Marili utilise son appareil photo comme l’instrument parfait pour enquêter sur le sous-texte subtil qui se cache derrière notre armure de peurs et de fictions.
Le projet photographique Le Repos de la Guerrière a débuté par un unique autoportrait explorant la résonnance entre soi et la nature comme remède thérapeutique après avoir traversé des temps exigeants. Au fil d’une année, d’autres autoportraits ont émergé lors de déambulations dans les espaces naturels entourant son environnement urbain et parfois un peu plus loin, hors du Québec. Ces méditations photographiques examinent plus en détails les idées de calme, de repos et de connexion amoureuse et profonde avec le monde naturel et sa splendeur curative.
A life dedicated to art and beauty is the guiding principle for Marili Clark in her artistic endeavors—photography, drawing, painting, and performing as an actress and singer. As a curious and empathic observer of the human condition, Marili uses her camera as the perfect instrument to investigate the subtle subtext beneath our armor of fears and fictions.
The photographic project Le Repos de la Guerrière began with a single self-portrait exploring the resonance between inner self and nature as a therapeutic remedy for navigating difficult times. Over the course of a year, other self-portraits emerged during wanderings in the natural spaces surrounding her urban environment and sometimes even a little farther outside of Québec. These photographic meditations further examine the ideas of calmness, deep resting, and a profound loving connection with the natural world and its healing splendor.
