For over thirty years, my work revolves around questions such as representation, time, rituals, death, Here and Elsewhere transience and permanence. Philosophical, my journey explores the spaces of silence and the role of the sacred and the slowness in a world where everything seems to be accelerating. My installations invest places with drawing on the wall, words, film and artist books. I participated in over twenty five group shows and presented over twenty five solo exhibitions in Canada, Europe, Mexico, Argentina, China, Slovaquia, etc.

Artwork description
A diptych installed in the rain garden at the Saint-Claire Annexe Elementary School in Montreal.
A dialogue between “the witch’s circle”—a series of organic shapes arranged in a half-moon shape that evokes the growth of certain mushrooms that create natural circles in the landscape—and, at one end, three reed stalks. These elements are essential to biodiversity for a healthy, living forest. Opposite it, “The Workshop, Poetic Ramifications” evokes fallen tree trunks that will decompose and produce humus; and through its colors, a game of Mikado. The cluster of colorful balls consists of aluminum castings of studio materials: string, papier-mâché, bubble wrap, etc. These “poetic ramifications” express the balance between nature and culture. Each class received a booklet detailing the work’s creative process, including three poems written for children by the writer, poet, and physician Jean Désy.
