THE SEAHORSE PROJECT – The interview

Finally I found time to go to the Ottawa School of Art to use their movie editing software and put this interview together. Mind you the next day there was a giant sinkhole downtown right where I passed by to go home afterwards. Being an artist is risky business. 🙂

It is now up and running on my YouTube Channel. This was done last year during the opening of my end of Artist Residency at the Ottawa School of Art.

Dawn Dale, artist, friend and mentor, was kind enough to do it and did a great job. I’ll let you be the judge of it.

After a big Fall storm, some people were brave enough to come and have a chat during the Reception for my show at the Ottawa School of Art.
Fellow ceramic artist Hilde Lambrecht got me a wonderful bottle of wine with a Seahorse on it called “Promised Land”. It was very “À propos” for this show. Thanks Hilde! Thanks as well to all of those who showed up and those who have already visited and left a note in my book, as well as those who will come prior to Wednesday (when I’ll take it down).
A big thanks to Dawn Dale as well for graciously accepting to interview me for a YouTube video.

Nice!

Sunday April 5th was the Reception for “Ultramarine”. Lovely crowd, friendly artists. I got positive feedback for the expressive quality of my work and a lot of questions about the techniques used to make it. I spent time with artist Yuliya Chernyshova and her husband from Sherbrooke chatting about her endeavours while having a toddler, just like myself. I also talked to Pauline Lauzon alias Poe whose watercolors I liked very much.

I also had the pleasure to be interviewed by Liana Voia who came all the way to Montreal at my invitation (thank you so much for your dedication to artists and the industry!) and interviewed as well the owners of the Repaire des 100 talents Gallery: Luc Poudrier and Adeline Lamarre.

Hello,

Finally I managed to edit the video of my interview on TV Rogers (French only) and uploaded it on YouTube. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can check the related Post I made in January.

I had the pleasure to be invited to appear live on a local French TV show called ”Entre-nous” on Tuesday, January 27th. The TV Rogers hosts Barbara Laurenstin and Pierre-Antoine Rivard Paquet were very nice and we talked about my work and the reasons behind it. The interview felt too short and I wished I had been smarter in some of my answers but I believe we covered all the messages I wanted to convey (the Ottawa School of Art Alumni show running until February 8, the Exhibition at La Fab opening May 23, the fact that I am an artist in residence at the Ottawa School of Art and the link to my website so people can get all of the info they want). I don’t have a tape of the show yet but will post it as soon as I can get my hands onto it. In the meantime, here are some pictures taken on the set.

Every 2 years the Ottawa School of Art runs an Alumni show. It’s a great opportunity to see what fellow artists and friends have been working on and to catch up with them as well. Some don’t live in Ottawa.
It’s also a nice way to start the New Year as artist get paid CARFAC fees (for showing work in a professional Gallery).
Here is a link to a video of the show:
