Hanging from a Thread is a sculpture and a performance exploring the fragile and temporal nature of life, paper and words. The sculpture is formed from paper threads spun from the Grolier Encyclopedia Canadiana 1958.

It is also a story about my own mortality. It is about imagining a […]
La Biennale Barachois in situ, 3e édition / Village/Paysage, été 2021

Noeuds d’écoute / Listening Knots, 2019, Galerie Oboro
Noeuds d’écoute Listening Knots includes five text-based installations, a video projection and a continuous performance inspired by Virginia Woolf’s, The Waves.

Students, friends, the ocean and the land were active participants. Nœuds d’écoute Listening Knots comprend cinq installations […]
