Inspired by the building’s history as Vancouver’s former Postal Hall, this suspended installation traces North America’s first international airmail flight from Vancouver to Seattle. Delicate forms evoke the quiet rituals of letter writing—the folding of paper, the weight of envelopes—set into motion as they travel across borders. Floating within the lobby, the work honors communication as both a physical journey and a human connection, bridging past and present through movement and form.
Claudine is what one would call a classic “Renaissance" artist in the sense that she likes to experiment with many mediums and is always looking to learn new techniques to expand her artistic vocabulary. Juggling between painting, sculptures, and illustrations, each discipline informs her mastery of the others and this cross-pollination of techniques always leaves her with plenty of ideas to explore.
She spent most of her life immersed in Montréal's rich artistic and cultural diversity. It was there that she studied Fine Arts at the Cégep du Vieux Montréal and Graphic Design at the Université du Québec à Montréal, both institutions known for their eclectic and bohemian artistic tendencies.

Claudine Gévry is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and co-founder of Umbralux Studio. Working across sculpture, painting, illustration, and light-based installations, her practice explores how form, material, and illumination interact within a space. Guided by a deep appreciation for nature, her work often reflects the atmospheric qualities of the environments that surround her, translating natural rhythms into abstract and playful compositions. Gévry studied Fine Arts at Cégep du Vieux Montréal and Graphic Design at the Université du Québec à Montréal, experiences that continue to inform her cross-disciplinary artistic approach.
Claudine's art is abstract and whimsical, nature being her primary guide. She is deeply influenced by her surroundings and her work is a reflection of impressions that the environment instills upon her.
