Neon!

I have been for a long time interested in animating my quite static work with light, then creating an atmosphere for some of my pieces. this lead me to an interest in neon. I had the great opportunity to participate in a Neon workshop this last September. Richard William Wheater is the creator of Neon Workshops which took place in Wakefield, West Yorkshire England. This specific workshop focused on animation of and kinetic movement with neon light. I had the opportunity to practic and learn to make a piece of my own. It was great to work alone fellow neon enthusiast and I had the pleasure meet Jeff Friedman from Let There Be Neon in New York. I am now back home stimulated by the great potentials of this medium. Here is a selection of pictures demonstrating my experience!

  

This bird will swim...

This blog has been neglected in the last few months, but a lot is in the works! I have been having a website made, by the company Imajery from Montreal. I have also been working on several projects combining stone and glass. Here are a few images of drawings and stone carving that show my process for one well-documented project that will represent a bird swimming. The carving is almost done, and I will then start working on combining and fitting it with glass in order to complete this piece.
