JENNIFER LATOUR

Jennifer Latour was born in Seven Islands, Quebec, and now works and lives in Vancouver, BC. She is a self taught artist having moved to the UK in 2003 working in special effects makeup and later starting her photography practise in 2006. Her love for cinema, sculpture and creating characters has heavily led to the making of Bound Species as she sees each piece as its own creature, a Frankenstein of sorts. Her influences are many but within her fields span from Dick Smith and Rick Baker to Irving Penn and Tim Walker.

Bound Species by Jennifer Latour is an ongoing series that started in her apartment during the first lockdown in 2020. Jennifer finally had the time to focus on her own artistic practise. Sourcing flowers and fruits locally and using all her skills as a special effects makeup artist she set to work constructing these incredibly delicate ‘new species’ of plant. We are so excited about how this series will evolve and plan to release new work seasonally.

The prints listed below have been made available for the first time. Each is available from an edition of 10.
