Délivrance incomplète / Broken Redemption
Musée Bruck, Cowansville, QC
March 13 - April 24, 2016

Sharon Robinson (sharonrobinson.ca) and I explore the concept of liberation: political liberation, liberation from certain patterns of behaviour, liberation from relationships that seems to keep us not feeling genuine and liberation from our own self identification. It is a life-long quest that only becomes partially fulfilled.

"Redemption comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key". Tom Petty.




The two artists explore art as a fractured liberation using various media: printmaking, assemblage, collage and sculpture.
