In 2020, Bourcart co-founded the collective Art Forms Us, a forum for open discussions on artistic processes, contemporary art topics, and projects.

She earned her MFA from the School of Visual Arts that same year.
statement
I don’t separate life from work.
Everything begins with what I notice, what I touch, what stays with me.
Elements are gathered instinctively, as I move through daily life, following what draws my attention and what keeps coming back.
These are often things that are overlooked, unstable, or in the process of disappearing.
There is no fixed starting point.
Connections come later, over time.
Elements meet, transform, and begin to make sense through contact and repetition.
There is play in the process, but it is taken seriously.
It is a way of exploring, shifting things, and seeing what happens.
What feels slightly strange or out of place is something I trust.
That’s often where the work begins.
