Welcome

My research of these last few months enabled me to be in the witness position, giving me access to a more incisive reality. It is from the razor sharp angle of the present moment, taken in its most furtive aspect, that I come closest to the prompt and unexpected reality of abstraction. In fact, I want to observe the shock of emotions in such a devastating suddenness that they become paralyzed in one shape, like substances crystallizing as they change states.

That being said, the emotion domain is so astounding that I am now feeling the urge to up the ante. The last fourteen years, spent feeling the material, have given me the necessary instinct to transpose my wild imaginings into a virtual creation mode. To that end, I am introducing a new, faster procedure that calls for tridimensional prototyping high technology.

With the support of a rich collaboration already established with a team of engineers in optical physics and a 3D modeling artist, I have been able to jump smack in the middle of the research and development niche. The new parameters I am putting in place bring a glimpse of important changes I have ardently wished for. My virtual workshop is providing a whole new look on my word, and lets me take new risks and undertake more extreme sculpture!

Thus, the formal alphabet revealed by the invention of my most recent optical systems will shortly be translated into finished pieces. I therefore invite you to stay alert to what is coming...
