Inspired by nature as well as the Indians of Quebec and Western Canada, I am intrigued by the expressive possibilities of wood. For 15 years I\u2019ve used a non-traditional steam bending technique to arrive at a singular form of expression for the elegant and graceful movement and form of birds.<\/p>\n
But the figure is for me only a starting point and it cannot fully communicate my vision without the evocative impressions of abstraction. As a metaphor, sculpting becomes as much a manner of capturing the flight of birds as it is of representing the bird itself. However, through research and development of a technique increasingly refined by the choice of a wood, my work remains in a state of perpetual artistic migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30690,"template":"","class_list":["post-33864","artiste","type-artiste","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste\/33864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artiste"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artiste\/33864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galerierichelieu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
