Installed at Carrefour de l'Estrie in Sherbrooke, Au fil d'une vie nestles in a scrolled archway. Glass, titanium, and aluminum come together to form sinuous lines that are seemingly weightless, an impression that is reinforced by openings that create a soft, luminous vibration. Although imposing, the work captures the fluidity of a piece of cloth unravelling in the space and creates a subtle effect of sheer guipure lace.
Danielle April is a renowned multidisciplinary artist who has displayed her work in over a hundred exhibitions in Canada and around the world. For Au fil d'une vie, she was inspired by the work of William Morris, an artist of the arts and crafts movement who was known for his love of craftsmanship and the beauty of his plant motifs.
