  Aghate, the Great Bear Basswood, canvas, bamboo base, metal stand, stain, varnish 53.34 x 33.02 x 53.34 cm.  2024   "I am Makousham , the bear who had to eat everything in one meal, the thanksgiving, dance, drum of the great communion, chief's stole, shaman's cloak, I died so that you might live so that your family might live. I was "little grandfather", and "little grandmother", on the path of all rebirths. The truth was in the fat, in the deep sleep, in the strength of the black bear, the power of dreams and spirit.5" Serge Bouchard, Anthropologist This is a tribute to my grandmother Agathe, called the Montagnaise (Innu), born of unknown parents. She was baptized under Agathe La Paroisse (parish) with the mention Montagnaise on January 28, 1784, in La Malbaie. She was adopted by Ignace Gagné and Geneviève Lavoie.

Ego-system versus Ecosystem

  Ego-system versus ecosystem Pine, lime, cedar, iron, aluminum, stain, varnish paint 132.08 x 45.72 x 30.48 cm. (excluding stand) 2023 Our ego, this self-constructed representation of ourselves through our experiences, tends to identify with our possessions and what we do to obtain them. It has a fundamental thirst for existence and pleasure, which translates into the urge to possess. He says to himself: "The more I possess and the harder I work to achieve it, the more unique, valuable and worthy of recognition I am. To secure this feeling of being more, he sets out to control as much as possible, so as not to be caught off-guard by others and himself. This mode of operation leads to unbridled overactivity, which has an impact on the environment. The personal ego thus becomes part of a universal ego, blind to the destruction it can cause. He unconsciously hopes that nature will continue to comply with this suicidal quest. This work is a portrait of a production system that is
