About
Laurence Thérien is an artist and animator from Montréal, Québec, with a background in graphic design and experience as a creative director at the National Film Board of Canada.
She primarily works with claymation and mixed media, blending techniques and universes to create experimental, tactile films that balance humor and introspection. Her animations delve into human behavior, neurodivergence, and the quiet absurdity of everyday life. Deeply inspired by unconventional clay techniques, Laurence treats materiality as a narrative tool, shaping stories through texture, tension, and the beautifully imperfect nature of the handmade.
