Nests-Cradles is a community-based art and photography project initiative.  During my artist residency at the Edmundston Art Center in 2013, I photographed venus figurines held by men, women and children of all ages.  Fate chose who would be the participants as I had visits at the studio.

My aim was to create a mosaic of 100 nest-cradles.  The goal of this project was to serve as a visual declaration of a community that values women and life.
