Background

“I’m afraid of change”

I identify metaphors in everyday language so that slowly, I may accept the ever presence of instability, and uncertainty.

-

I write stories of basic universal experiences:

          The game of balancing on one foot

          The walk from the metro station to Trottier building

          The act of looking out the window

I then show how these physical experiences provide the frame and language to navigate the cognitive and emotional, like in learning and reading.
