Text of the artwork:
Une idée ça vrille et pousse
l'idée du champ dans l'épi de blé
Au coeur des feuilles l'idée de l'arbre
qui va faire une forêt
et même, même
forcenée, l'idée du chiendent

Inspired by Gaston Miron's poem "Tête de caboche"

Installed on August 30, 2008
Note(s):
For me, Miron's poetry evokes forms. So I thought of the elm, this tree which had almost disappeared at the beginning of last century but which has regained artistic significance thanks to Marc-Aurèle Fortin and Armand Vaillancourt. My work also pays tribute to them.
