La marche du rêveur

This is a new public art project just installed at Domaine de Gaspé in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. It is a magnificent site, adjacent to the village, where young people and families gather for summer camps, swimming, mushroom picking, cross-country skiing, or simply to walk in the woods. This triptych consists of three parts: a lunar rabbit, a flower bearing a blue planet, and a "cosmos-bear." It is playful, featuring references to *Alice*, my very first sculpture created in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, to Japan, and to various other touchstones from my career as a sculptor. Many thanks go to my team—working at Che Bourgault’s studio alongside Jean-Michel Rossignol—and to my son, Léandre. We employed a variety of fabrication techniques to bring this piece to life. Given the modest budget, we drew upon our full range of expertise (molding, metal shaping, fiberglass resin, direct carving, spray painting, etc.) to realize those sculptures.
