[nggallery id=48] Solo exhibition at Centre d'art Expression, St-Hyacinthe, Quebec, 2017. "In this room, a skylight, a big door with a sun motif lintel, and a stair apparently not going to or coming from anywhere but the wall and ceiling. Already so much to contemplate, the air trickling or rushing past us, the sun pouring in one day, subdued the next.
