cj fleury is a multi-media artist and cultural researcher, deeply interested in the role of art in contemporary society. Her twenty public commissions include: Ottawa - "Lightscape" for LRT's Blair Station; "Postcards from the Piazzas" (15 bronze + granite sculptures; Preston St); The "Women's Monument against Violence" (Elgin St.); The Dorothy O'Connell Anti-Poverty Activists' Monument (City Hall); Gatineau - "The Condition of Rosetta Stones" (C.E.G.E.P. Heritage College). Recognized for groundbreaking projects that bring the public into public art, cj is now designing an Artist-in-Residence program for the Bruyère Organization, a multi-site academic hospital. Her courses help students build imaginative and observational skills, as well as critical thinking, creativity in 2D, 3D, "placemaking" or social-connection; all while organizing for beauty, purpose and social wellness.
Use multiple tools, math techniques, and many design elements; create beauty with line, shape, texture, light, shadow, and reflection. Learn how individual tasks can build team success. Realize a plan; analyze results. Recycle.

School Workshop: Shimmer and Shape your Subject
Using beautiful, light-weight, shiny material, students create unique, low-relief pieces. These can become 2 or 3-dimensional artworks like (kinetic) mobiles, sculptures, garden pieces, cards, frames or wands; as individual take-home creations; or a collaborative effort towards a public-art installation for the school.* Tactile, imaginative and fun; simple or complex techniques involve a few math concepts. Making a paper-plan, drawing, folds, cutting, patterns, embossing, and various assembly options. The scraps are worth saving for other small projects! The workshop can be tailored to suit your theme, cultural context or particular skill-levels.
