The work uses specific objects and abstract form as a reference to the physical and psychological aspects of the individual. Ideas of aggression and protection, what is hidden and revealed, frailty and strength are conveyed through linear and planar elements made out of wire, fabric, steel, and roofing paper. Human and animal forms as well as medieval imagery have been an important source over the years. Recently a trip along the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec has allowed the incorporation of the agrarian and fluvial, combining ideas of a sense of place, my heritage, and the pressure of time.
