Artist's
Statement
In her archaeology of the imagination, Michèle Lapointe excavates
dreams, drawing her inspiration from people, their place and their
history. Her work becomes one with the milieu that spawns its growth.
Lapointe dreams of bringing stone to life, transforming metals into
crystalline objects and making glass - her preferred medium - as
solid as steel. Architecture and environment are harmonized in every
project through Lapointe's rigorous and detailed research into the
concept and technical aspects of her works. Her unparalleled works
are without compromise in their construction, becoming inextricable
features of their environment. As honoured bearers of the march
of time, Lapointe's sundials bespeak our existence on this earth,
our shadows ever-shifting under the sun.
