Wind Fossils
Commissioned by the Rimouski Museum and installed in the Jardin de
Metis, the steel poles are set out in a grid suggesting some industrial
structure, the stone columns in the center have blowing grasses etched
deeply into their surface as if this moment on a summer's day was caught
forever like a fossil. Brass leaves hanging from the poles swing in the
wind and catch the sunlight and make gentle wind chimes. The central pool
reflects the columns and brings the sky's reflection down to one's feet.
