L’Étranger: The Outsider’s Gaze - Exposition de Melissa Sisk

These pieces offer diverse perspectives — capturing the outsider's view of France, inviting the viewers (you!) to reverse roles and become the outsider, and prompting reflection on the complexities of observing and being observed.

Embark on a visual odyssey of illustrations and screen prints inspired by Melissa’s summer in Toulouse and Southern France in 2023. These pieces offer diverse perspectives — capturing the outsider's view of France, inviting the viewers (you!) to reverse roles and become the outsider, and prompting reflection on the complexities of observing and being observed. "Whenever I capture a scene, I feel intensely alive, like I'm inhaling an espresso -- or three. I am filled with immense wonder and gratitude witnessing life at work. It is my goal to use my art to illustrate the delightful and intriguing and inspiring aspects of the simple but energetic lives that we all lead." - Melissa Sisk
