Paul Lapointe *

Each work I create is done with openness, chance and intuition.
After a limited process of editing and direction, what emerges is to be respected on its own terms and sent out into the world to fend for itself.
Its interpretation is affected by the personal perspective of those who see it, and by the context in which it is seen.
I am comfortable working with organic and natural materials.
