Statement Throughout my work there is a consistent concern for the ways that perception constructs onešs world.This consideration generates work that explores, on the one hand, the physical structures that we create to organize our world, and on the other hand, the psychological structures that we imagine in order understand and navigate our reality.
The narrative strand that some pieces have been following have led me to continue this exploration of structures as it pertains to how we see ourselves as being human. Very recently the two threads of my work, the abstract and the narrative, have started to merge. I've used the abrupt editing techniques of the abstract work in order to create focuses on the short moments when an emotion crystalizes on screen. In a sense opening up a door into another narrative thread. It is the basis of my current thought process and it is informing and shaping my current pieces.
Bio St-Jacques studied Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design where his initial ideas about perception and the structure of narrative were planted.
