Alexis Gros-Louis incorporates multiple references to Wendat territory and culture to create abstract works that question our ability to extract ourselves from history and memory, especially once a wound or a barrier has formed. His work invokes different forms of distance – physical, historical, political, economic and cultural – all interjecting with our understanding of territory, and what it truly signifies. These works also connote the artist’s path, travelled as a way to reconvene with the ancestral territories of his people, and through which his labour leads him to a slow recovery of the misplaced parts of his identity.
