Tim Gaudreau explores the role of artist as cultural instigator, asking questions that raise issues and challenge assumptions about our relationship to nature. His work combines humor and irony as artistic tools with photography, video, new media, graphics and sculpture to provoke public consciousness and advocate awareness of eco-issues. Awards including the Artist Advancement Fellowship from the NH Charitable Foundation, Fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and NH State Council on the Arts, and commissions from the city of Portsmouth have given Gaudreau the opportunity to create public art projects that have stimulated collaboration, interaction and challenged conventional thinking.
