Selected projects
Mon atlas 3D
Installation / 2019-2021 / Paper, pins / 110 cm x 244 cm x 367 cm
On the scale of a large model, I create a utopian territory in homage to the places I inhabit. This self-portrait, built on the oversized enlargement of the Kingsburg, Nova Scotia area maritime map, illustrates my interest in architecture and geography as well as my attachment to the land.
