1990-1998 : Tool-jewelry
Between tools and adornments, “Tool-jewelry” pieces function both on a mechanical and a metaphorical level. Like any tools, they come with directions of use but these have a poetic twist. Their packaging is made of a collage or a manuscript that talks about the pieces’ mythology or genesis. Playful and witty, the jewelry pieces require the bearers’ participation and often become a conversation piece.
(A small book entitled “Histoires de Bijoux-outils” is available in a limited edition of 80 copies, signed and numbered, showing 15 pieces all accompanied by a story written by Anne Fauteux in French.)

1999- … : Bureau of Migrating Lyrical Objects (BOLM)
BOLM projects question the accessibility and the consumption of cultural objects and re-evaluate our means and modes of exchange.
In this enterprise, each new project (event or collection) is conceived around its own unique method of reaching the public, and of enticing the circulation of migrating lyrical objects (OLM). This method will dictate the specific design of those OLM. Neither jewelry nor accessories, toys nor tools, the OLM are meant to be shared. They work as wearable catalysts for communication; the participation of the public is essential. Seductive and ridiculous, they call for comments and arouse amused observations about our desires, our identity and our alienation as urban beings.
