Artist's
Statement
Within the past ten years, I have modelled
and carved a great number of characters. They were either outstanding
beings (Travers saints, Galerie Optica, Montréal,
1988), despots, ministers or other representatives of earthly power
(Assis soient-ils, Musée d'art de Joliette, Québec,
1992), kings and biblical prophets (Voix et pas, Musée
des religions, Nicolet, Québec, 1994), models of accomplished
women, wise, militant or mother (Femmes, corps et âme,
Musée de la civilisation, Québec, 1996), and finally,
a series of mesopotamian and precolombian ancestors, which I sculpted
for the simple pleasure of meeting them (Petite humanité,
1999).
