1990-1998 : Tool-jewelry
Between tools and adornments, “Tool-jewelry” pieces
function both on a mechanical and a metaphorical level. Like
any tools, they come with directions of use but these have
a poetic twist. Their packaging is made of a collage or a
manuscript that talks about the pieces’ mythology or
genesis. Playful and witty, the jewelry pieces require the
bearers’ participation and often become a conversation
piece.
(A small book entitled “Histoires de Bijoux-outils”
is available in a limited edition of 80 copies, signed and
numbered, showing 15 pieces all accompanied by a story written
by Anne Fauteux in French.)
1999- … : Bureau of Migrating Lyrical Objects (BOLM)
BOLM projects question the accessibility and the consumption
of cultural objects and re-evaluate our means and modes of
exchange.
In this enterprise, each new project (event or collection)
is conceived around its own unique method of reaching the
public, and of enticing the circulation of migrating lyrical
objects (OLM). This method will dictate the specific design
of those OLM. Neither jewelry nor accessories, toys nor tools,
the OLM are meant to be shared. They work as wearable catalysts
for communication; the participation of the public is essential.
Seductive and ridiculous, they call for comments and arouse
amused observations about our desires, our identity and our
alienation as urban beings.
