While distributing pamphlets downtown at the Ottawa Art Gallery I visited the exhibitions of two of my friends/colleagues were having an exhibition this summer: Gail Bourgeois and Paula Murray.

“Correspondence” – From roots to rhizomes to mycelial networks – by Gail Bourgeois
June 4 – Sept. 18, 2016
I was particularly attracted to her abstract shapes on Mylar.

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!

Last Sunday, all of the artists collaborating on the show “Lines in Nature | La nature des choses” were at the Ottawa School of Art to take pictures of our work for the catalogue. While some of the pieces were still a work in progress, Paula Murray and I had decided to have it finished for the photoshoot.

On the project’s Blog you can see pictures of the artists interacting with each other. They were taken by Dawn Dale.

Here is our piece entitled On the line | En eaux troubles. It will be for sale at La Fab (Old Chelsea, QC) between May 23-June 21. A big thank you to our Maggie Knaus for photographing all the artworks that day. It promises to be an exciting show.

Starting in February I have been focusing on implementing ideas for the Lines in Nature Project/La nature des choses Project.
Here are some photos of the work in progress. (more to come)
Note: I have also posted some sketches and concept developed during the partnership with ceramic artist Paula Murray on the Project’s blog.

Paula Murray - © Louis BrunetWorking again in clay after giving birth to my baby boy in 2013 and with renowned artist Paula Murray, who would refuse such an offer? Not me. So, I will be part of an exciting project spanning from June 2014 to May 2015.
At the core of it, it is a collaboration between the Community-run Gallery called La Fab located at the Chelsea Art, Culture and Heritage Centre in Québec and the Ottawa School of Art.
La Fab14 artists will produce a collaborative work (7 emerging artists are paired with 7 established artists) and work throughout the year to prepare an exhibit in May 2015. Each pair is composed of a francophone and an anglophone artist. Finally, we all have different mediums so it promises to be an interesting take on the following theme: Lines in nature | La nature des choses.
