Description:
Inspired by board games and word games, such as Scrabble, the artwork invited the public to take an active part in the display. The public was invited to play by placing letters on a grid to form words in French or in English. This artwork was designed by artist Marie Sylvestre. Using stencils, the artist created a bestiary inspired by fairy tales, fables and fictions.
