| While
filling a wood stove one winter night in Québec, Roger Dumont
saw in a branch something that resembled a duck. He went into his basement
and carved the wood until the bird took form in his hands. Since then,
Roger has carved thousands of birds out of found materials in the truest
expression of folk art. In respecting the grain and knots and curves
of each piece of wood, every bird has its own "persona". Roger's
wife Céline sometimes participates in the painting, adding her
own whimsy to the birds' personalities. |
