The Girl with the Red Beret / La fille au béret rouge

All day and all night I created animation, taking inspiration from anyone who wandered through the door.
This completely uncontroversial children’s book has been pulled from Florida’s library shelves. I am proud that my book joins the ranks of such works as Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Maus. My other penguin fairy tale books have not yet been banned.

The Girl with the Red Beret / La fille au béret rouge has been making the rounds of festivals around the world. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, it is a lighthearted look at the vagaries of public transport, to the tune of the Kate and Anna McGarrigle song “Complainte pour Ste-Catherine”.

On May 13th, 2023 I gave a master class at the Cinemathèque québécoise. I showed films, described my work process, my evolution as an artist, my influences, blew bubbles, and invited everyone to dance to African drums.
This display case contains “objéts” that inspired “My Favorite Things that I Love”. It was installed at the Cinemathèque québécoise May 12 - June 18, 2023.
