L'Épervier (2024) Sculpture by Jessey Vachon

I have been in the world of crafts as a creative sculptor since 2021. Born in Abitibi, (a region known for its wide open spaces and numerous lakes), the place of my passion for wood. I now live in the Lanaudière region, more precisely in Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez.

At that time, walking along the banks, I remember simply kicking a piece of wood that was lying around. A few steps further, the idea came to me that there would surely be something to do with this well-rounded piece, eroded by sand and water, the action of nature improving its visual aspect. I decided to do some research on this subject and I finally came across the site of a distinguished sculptor (Tony Fredriksson) who was a strong source of inspiration for me to get into this art form and thus develop my own technique for making montages, thus giving free rein to my imagination.

You know, on television, during certain competition shows, we often hear this famous phrase ''We must believe in ourselves and not hesitate and then go for it''. Well that's what I said to myself and here I am in front of you, introducing you to my very own world.

Of course, as you can imagine, I will often have to do a lot of research in nature in order to find ''The'' right piece of wood that will fit in the ''right place'' on the work.

It is therefore after several hours of research and work that I proudly present my creations to you.

THANKS!
