After a long battle with 60 million other versions of my gene pool and 9 months
of incubation; ready and steady I came out in Montreal, December the 20Th 1977. Fascinated by every thing that surrounded me especially objects that could be opened. Progressing toward my first discovery, there's nothing inside
the big yellow tonka; but inside my brother's remote control there is!
From small motor to still unidentified larger objects, curiousity sprung. Then I grew conscious of life and it's representation, it's mechanism. All these discoveries were pivoting around an ever so changing environment, one serious encounter with death, water and love. All this was very confronting for my 10 years. By the time I turn
18 my life took a definitive direction: ART. Although it was always present in my life; at that peculiar time it became my journey. A full blown addiction. I found great support and incomprehension. Between fascination and fright I went head first in the deep untamed forest of life. Savage imageries were preponderant to this horizon that was foreseen by the great wheel of change....Miles and Miles of questions strobbing in a distant light....a long walk in the the silent snow made me realize the importance of reference and direction.I paint, sculpt, draw and write. All of the above are combined to merge my concept into life. If medium is the message then....let there be more
then one dimension to my message.All this points towards life, it's experience and the way it is interpreted. Through
a series of thematics a core formula arises ;language (anything that is represented as a message) is essential to understanding, thus representing. {I am a filter....an interpret....a conceptor, but not a puppet}.There is so much information today...that even though directions are omnipresent they resemble a binary abstraction in which but a few are ready to share some form of interpretation. This is only the tip of an ongoing shift in perspective. Most of us have to face this if any authentic expression is to be attained.Why chase media related topics if they repeat themselves in the context of histories? The problems, if any...reoccur because of their nature; if you look for answers you might miss the solution.A few last words...Thanks to those who bring key visions... they are rare. Thanks for broadening my mind, for this horizon would still be a goal...now it is a concept towards understanding. Peace friendly stranger. ....................... Samuel Gagne ..
