 Civilization.ca - Bronfman Collection - Masters of the Crafts - Monique Cliche-Spénard
A native of the Chaudière River valley in Quebec's Beauce region, Monique Cliche-Spénard is a direct descendant of one of the region's eighteenth-century seigneurial families.
A modern-day daughter of the Beauce, Cliche-Spénard applied these distinctions to her own work, reinterpreting the memories of a collective past, reassembling traditional motifs, adapting old techniques, and selecting printed and coloured fabrics for their design and effect.
Nevertheless, these differences fuel a creative tension in her craft and traditional Beauce quilting is transformed from bedcover to wall-hanging, and from utilitarian object to an artistic and political statement about the folk traditions of the Beauce and its people.
