Présences du littéraire dans l’espace public canadien

The sculpture consists of two panels mounted onto two brick walls. The first panel is a long horizontal rectangle and presents different types of representations subject to the morphology of the first three letters of the alphabet, as written in capital letters. Hieroglyphic symbols occupy the left side, in tight rows, while, to the right, two human figures strike poses that evoke a movement towards the center. Large diagonal tracks mark the greater part of the space while extending one of the legs of the "A". A fragment from a geometric square seems to pop up from behind the rectangle. The second panel shows the last three letters of the alphabet. Copper sheets are folded, engraved, acid burnt, chemically oxidized, hammered down, studded, riveted, welded, etched and varnished.
