Lives and works in Lajoie, Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada
“Le corps humain est pour moi le meilleur instrument pour parler aux Humains des humains. Le corps est le matériau même de l’œuvre, bine plus qu’un simple modèle. Le corps humain, dont mon travail, est l’œuvre, crée l’œuvre. Chaque élément de l’installation est là pour renforcer la relation avec lui, mais chaque spectateur doit définir sa propre relation avec une image qui n’établit aucun diktat factuel. Elle permet plusieurs niveaux de lecture et plusieurs interprétations…”
