FRANCOIS GAUDET

Francois Gaudet grew up on the Evangeline Trail in an Acadian enclave in southwestern Nova Scotia.
His describes being Acadian as
" existing in an intertidal zone—
caught between the established and the uncertain, between fact and fiction,
the visible and the invisible. "
With a major in photography, he uses it as a powerful mythical eye for navigating this complex paradigm.
He holds a minor in painting and combines both mediums into his pieces,
creating modern encounters of a world long passed.
He integrates the oral tradition of the Acadian language into his work,
either poetically or cryptically.
Working in both Acadian French and English extends an ever-present historical neutrality.
