Dominique Morel holds a BFA (1984) and an MFA in visual arts (1987) from the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she taught from time to time between 1987 to 1994. The materials that she favours in her highly symbolic sculptures are string, wood, latex, fibreglass, plaster, wax and aluminum. Her strange artifacts often make reference to the plant kingdom, as seen in Métaphores végétales (“plant metaphors”; 2001) and La branche est dans l’arbre (“the branch is in the tree”; 2003). They question the illusion of appearances in a humorous tone that is not without sexual innuendo.
