Émilie Trahan is a Québec-based textile artist whose practice centers on improvisational quiltmaking. Her work highlights the reuse of everyday textiles—sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, garments—echoing the origins of patchwork.
Through this connection to the past and to the very fabric of our lives, she seeks to reveal her intuitions of an intangible, immaterial world hidden behind sensory perception. Her abstract language unfolds in interwoven curves and organic forms. Quilts, like poems, sketching the fibers of the universe.
Her work is regularly exhibited and published in Canada and the United States and has received numerous awards over the years.
Beyond her artistic practice, Émilie Trahan is also a palliative care physician at the Joliette Hospital.
