Pierre/Paysage

The images began as a response to Katherine Lapierre's architectural and sculptural maquettes entitled Folies. Lapierre's paper stone stemmed from a mapping project of Montréal's Parc LaFontaine where she opted to focus on a single stone as a conceptual representation of the park as a whole. My attempt to reconstruct the model of over one hundred individual pieces resulted in a rugged landscape, drawing connections between our depictions of terrain.

The maquettes have expanded into studies of material, light, shadow and transparency. Surfacing as geometric abstractions, the structures present possible perspectives through topographical, sculptural and photographic representation.
