"Je viens de Montréal, j'ai grandi sur le plateau. Mais durant les quatre dernières années je n'ai fait que voyager. Je pars dans deux jours au Mexique rejoindre mon chum que j'ai rencontré en voyage. On va travailler dans des fermes et diverses communautés. Je suis un peu fébrile, car ce départ est plus important que les autres. Jusque-là, je partais mais je revenais toujours, ce n'était que des voyages. Mais cette fois ci, je laisse définitivement Montréal pour aller vivre à ailleurs. C'est comme si je perdais mon pied à terre pour me jeter dans l'inconnu." 

"Je préfère travailler dehors dans la nature plutôt que enfermé dans un atelier. Il y a plus de lumières et les intempéries ne me font pas peur. Il va bientôt pleuvoir et ça tombe bien car j'ai besoin de mouiller un peu ma sculpture. Et je fais des rencontres avec des gens, je peux parler de l'oeuvre que je suis en train de réaliser. Et si je rencontre quelques personnes intéressés à apprendre la sculpture, j'animerais des ateliers de sculpture dans le parc. "

"L'idée de cette sculpture m'est venu en rêve. J'ai rêvé d'un aigle qui survolait le grand Canyon. Alors j'ai commencé à sculpter ce que j'ai vu. Je veux y donner une symbolique particulière : cette sculpture représente la structure du monde qu'on va léguer à nous enfants. Le système capitaliste dans lequel on vit crée de la pauvreté et détruit l'environnement. Les pics qui s'élèvent représentent ceux qui s'accaparent la richesse et le pouvoir, ceux qui maintiennent inconsciemment un système économique qui mène l'humanité à sa perte. Cependant, j'ai voulu mettre un peu de nuances en sculptant un coeur en haut d'un pic pour représenter le fait que quelques-uns ont quand même de la compassion comme Bill Gates qui a décidé de léguer sa fortune à des organisations humanitaires plutôt que d'enrichir encore plus sa famille. La base des pics représentent les peuples et les arches représentent des ponts et des alliances qui se crée entre les peuples pour lutter contre le système. Je crois que aujourd'hui les nouvelles technologies vont permettre de créer des réseaux de citoyens qui vont pouvoir lutter ensemble et éveiller les consciences. "

" I have always enjoyed and been around art. But I'm not an artist myself because the responsibilities of life and the jobs end up taking you away from that."

"I wrote this poem once:

In your hands it crumbles,

Flower falls and stumbles.

All but one breath from the sun

Where the waters flow and rivers grow

Giving us a passage to be whole. "

"I live in Manhattan and I went to school to NYU (New York University) which is one of the most liberal school in New York. I work in a private insurance company but I would like to do something more interesting because it's a lot of non-interesting paperwork. I go for yoga classes and i'm a lot into veganism. I think it's important in order to reduce animal suffering, because even when you're vegetarian you're still eating animal products that come from mistreated animals. It's also important for the global warming issue because the meat and milk industry is responsible for a lot of greenhouse gas emission. And if you manage your diet well, you don't get any nutritional deficiency."

"I come to play here every night the weather is good. I can make a lot of money here, with all the tourists passing by. I like playing all kind of style, classical, folk, Irish, bluegrass, metal,... Sometimes I play in bands. 
I started playing violin in high school, I got into the orchestra. When I went to college, I started playing guitar, then I also tried bass, singing,... But I always came back to the violin. It's easy to carry around when you're playing in the streets, and I like the feeling of the wood. And it's also that I can play a lot of romantic songs with the violin and I really appreciate romantic songs! "

"I'm an artist. I love living in Santa Fe, it's a great place for artists and just for living in general. It's quite small but there's always something going on in the street, someone playing guitar or some other instruments.
One thing I do a lot with other fellow artists is bartering. We exchange arts against arts or services against services. It's a great way not to function with money all the time."

Now, I work in a summer camp for childrens. Lots of humans relationships going on there."
