I made “Se souvenir du futur” (Remembering the Future) during my June 2024 residency with Michael David at the Judy Pfaff Studios in Tivoli, NY, USA.
Thank you to Daniel Gadd for creating the metal ellipse that became a key element in the piece!

Postcards Project
In the spring and summer of 2023, two series of four postcards are being sent to 51 people in Quebec, to present my work to museum directors and conservators, gallery owners, journalist for the arts, collectors.
Each card is signed and numbered. I send one every week for four weeks, then after a pause of two weeks, I send the last four, also once a week.
This project has been considerably enriched by my mentoring with Michael David, my participation in the Yellow Chair Salon since 2020, and talks with colleagues.
I am thankful for the help of my photographer, Alain Lefort, and PhotoSynthèse, graphic art workshop.
“The paradox of the human condition is that one can only become oneself through the influence of others.” (Boris Cyrulnik)
Muses or wizards? Augurs, phoenix or ghost lights?
