Artist Statement
For Melissa Mercier, immaculacy is not an option; it’s an imperative. Mercier’s photographic practice is a study of her own personality and a reflection of her obsessiveness. Mercier’s photographs explore her obsessive and claustrophobic tendencies, creating images that deal with our collective uncontrollable behaviours. This fascination has led to a study of compulsiveness.
