Zygoptera No.9

Demoiselle, insecte au vol lent et indécis, aux ailes relevées et appliquées l’une contre l’autre quand au repos. À la fois scultpure et mobile, insecte imaginaire, méduse de bois et capteur de rêve océanique, ce zygoptère a été soigneusement assemblé à partir de bois flotté cueilli à Havre-Aubert et peint dans notre atelier maritime.

Ingrédients : bois flotté des Iles-de-la-Madeleine (petit archipel d’îles au milieu du Golfe du Saint-Laurent), fil de fer galvanisé, peinture acrylique

À accrocher au mur ou déposer sur un meuble.

Zygoptera No.9

a.k.a. as damselflies, a suborder of Odonata comprising forms that are distinguished from the typical dragonflies by a slenderer elongated body, by narrow equal wings held upright in repose and a slow and uncertain flight pattern. Makes me want to be a damselfly.

Sculpture, mobile, imaginary insect, driftwood jellyfish and pelagic dreamcatcher, this zygoptera was carefully assembled with hand-picked driftwood found on the shores of Havre-Aubert and hand-painted in our maritime studio.

Ingredients : driftwood picked on the Magdelen Islands (a small archipelago in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence), galvanized steel wire, acrylic paints

To be hung on a wall or set up on a shelf, this zygoptera will take you for a ride on its colorful imaginary wings.
