Anne and Patrick Poirier

Though they have worked in a variety of media, including photography, drawing, installation and monumental public sculpture, their oeuvre has always dealt with themes surrounding memory, archeology, ruins, memento mori, disintegration, loss and remembering. As they articulate it, "we believe that ignorance or the destruction of cultural memory brings in its wake every sort of oblivion, falsehood and excess and that we must, with all the modest means at our disposal, oppose this generalized amnesia and destruction."^[2]

Their work is featured in international collections in the United States and Europe, including the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida; and the Corning Museum of Glass, New York.^[3]
