Nicole Henusse

My practice brings together narrative, illustration and graphic design. I begin by looking at a subject in context: the text and its reader for a book, the idea carried by an article, or the real activity behind an identity.

I work in gouache, watercolour, pastel, charcoal and ink, then can finish the image through digital painting or vector work. The project determines the technique. Drawing, composition, light and material remain the common foundation.

My training in design, followed by visual anthropology and political science, informs this attention to context without defining the practice on its own.
