Monument à la dernière plume

Evariste Richer

lightning rod, blind man's cane
variable dimensions

Monument à la dernière plume, presented in suspension, evokes opposing forces, between balance and imbalance, light and darkness. A lightning rod, composed of several conductive metal elements that capture lightning in a flash, is positioned as a counterbalance to a white cane, which symbolizes blindness. This 'monument,' both airy and unstable, summons the brilliance of the sky while highlighting absence (that of the bird and the last feather).
