‘Grief is an Origami Swan’ With Filmmaker, Artist & Poet, Michèle Saint-Michel The Power of Love Show
-
- Self-Improvement
On this episode of The Power of Love Show we welcome special guest, Michèle Saint-Michel.
Michèle Saint-Michel is an artist, filmmaker and author. Designed to promote healing, her genre-bending works encourage healthy coping and recovery from difficult experiences.
Often incorporating pressed botanicals, preserved insects, seeds and leaves, her works examine the overlap between the environmental, the cultural, and the emotional, creating a conditional and reactive multi-temporal space where new futures can be imagined. Saint-Michel’s films take influence from poetry filmmakers, experimental filmmakers and free jazz movements.
Her moving image work and poetry films have been official selections by the Prismatic Ground Festival, Manchester International Film Festival, Cadence Poetry Film Festival and many others. Her installation films have been exhibited in galleries and digital arts festivals worldwide.
She is the author of two books, a coloring book and three journals. After the heartfelt reception of ‘Grief is an Origami Swan’, Michèle released the highly experimental poetry collection, ‘Saint Agatha Mother Redeemer’, and the accompanying ‘Saint Agatha Mother Redeemer Coloring Book’. She has also released a set of journals based on the poetry of Walt Whitman.
Saint-Michel's artistic journey has taken her from the rolling hills and river bluffs of Missouri to the bustling streets of London. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Saint-Michel's work is about creating a space where new futures can be imagined. Through her films, installations, and writing, she invites audiences to engage with their emotions and surroundings in a way that fosters healing and growth.
