Molly Bertheaud (b. 1997, Canadian/American) is a contemporary artist whose practice investigates the intersection of craft, technology, and storytelling. Informed by her familial legacy in industrial knitting, Bertheaud employs a diverse range of media to create narratives that grapple with the fragility of life, love, and the complexities of human relationships.
Bertheaud's works delves into theinterplay of beauty and absurdity. Her vibrant paintings and tapestries depict fantastical realms inhabited by hybrid creatures navigating surreal landscapes. These environments are imbued with a sense of underlying tension, featuring protective maternal figures, and unseen dangers.
Bertheaud seamlessly translates her initial conceptualizations from the realm of painting and drawing to the intricate medium of thread and yarn to create narratives that discuss, ecological concerns, the inevitability of mortality, and the complexities of femininity and motherhood.Artwork Details
