Pinard obsessively draws in school notebooks and jotters as a way to explore adult psychological anxieties and failures, through the disguise of childhood optimism and innocence. Harnessing the filtered language of comics and storyboard animation, Pinard manipulates the familiarity of recurrent playful characters to comment on the warped and dislocated nature of daily adult life. These cartoon like drawings are sometimes subdued, and other times violent and disturbing, but always rely on a borrowed shared experience.
