About Pauline Loctin
Pauline Loctin (also known as Miss
Cloudy) is a paper sculptor who was
born in central France in 1985. Based in
Montreal for more than a decade now,
she practices paper folding, among other
things. Designing and sculpting paper
costumes and murals, Pauline Loctin
reaches various audiences with her work,
which is defined by extensive colour
research and a study of the different types
of paper, their texture, and their potential.
By exploring the multiple possibilities
offered by paper—which can be painted,
folded, wrinkled, or glued — she reveals
a medium that can be much more than a
visual experience. Pauline Loctin creates
spaces for genuine human exchanges,
where nature, culture, and humanity
intersect and never depart from one
another. Her love of colour, motifs and
superimpositions, as well as her interest
in light and shadows, have led her to
work for such international institutions
and brands as the Montreal Museum
of Fine Arts, the Montreal Symphony
Orchestra, the Grands Ballets Canadiens,
Four Seasons, Holt Renfrew, Marie Saint
Pierre, Maison Simons, Nespresso, COS,
and Veuve Clicquot. dw
