entry description
In recent years, I undertook a deep research to illustrate and highlight not only the beauty but also the duality between Nature and Culture. Several lectures on calligraphy, both in the different styles of writing as their evolution over time, allowed me to deepen my knowledge in calligraphy. Choosing a cursive Chinese calligraphy came to me not only because of his seniority, estimated dates from ± 5000 years, but also by its cursive style 'Coashu' also called 'Grass style' which means crazy writing or free style. From this, what better could be required to join the herbs shapes and movements from here, near St-Lawrence River (Quebec, Canada), with Caoshu calligraphy style.Within this photographic series, a Coashu style calligraphy is integrated with grass shadows on the snow. Calligraphy in each photograph correspond to the title of the photographic work. All calligraphy inside photography have been inspired by real calligrapher who have lived in china few hundred years ago.
