Exaltation of the squirrel

Exaltation of the Squirrel, 38.5 x 41 feet, aerosol and latex on brick, Ville-Émard, Montréal. Created thanks to the support of Concertation Ville-Émard.
Often overlooked or even looked down upon, it's squirrels whom, according to the Haudenosaunee, we owe the discovery of maple syrup to. My family has and still does produced maple syrup and I wanted to make a piece that acknowledges them and our own history on these lands. More importantly, however, was my desire to highlight that there is beauty and majesty in the overlooked and banal, and squirrels to me are an emblem of this fact.
