About me
Hi !
My name is Nicolas and I’m a ceramicist based in Gatineau, Québec.
In the summer of 2021, what started as an escape from my graduate studies ended up being the start of a new passion.
My ceramic practice may best be described as nomadic : researcher at heart, I’m constantly moving in new directions, never settling, and always (re)searching and following new lines of inquiry.

Aside from ceramic, I’m a full-time graduate student.
During my master, my research project sought to investigate the various mechanisms at play contributing to the (re)production or transformation of (cis)heteronormative, queer-phobic and sexist physical/sporting cultures in physical education teacher education programs.
My doctoral research interest is simple : to bear witness to the multiplicity, overlap and complexity of the Break(dancing) experience through the art of freestyling and cyphering.

« Quant au motif qui m’a poussé, il était fort simple […] c’est la curiosité […] non pas celle qui cherche à s’assimiler ce qu’il convient de connaître, mais celle qui permet de se déprendre de soi-même. »
Michel Foucault
