Dust - A Sculptor’s (TBC) The Science of Sleep (15)Memento (15)

Dust - A Sculptor’s Journey (TBC)Jeanne Pope, USA 2011, TBC

Dust is an intimate portrayal of Canadian artist Stanley Louis, aprolific stone sculptor, whose history has taken him around the world,learning from masters of the craft. Louis now resides in his dusty,cramped and discombobulated studio in Montreal’s The Main, anarea of boulevard Saint Laurent. Stanley’s ill health both mentally andphysically beg the question if Stanley’s art will ever again see the lightof day or will it, and Stanley himself, end up returning to the dust?Jean Pope’s fascination with Louis gleams through the grainy mono-chromatic imagery as she cares deeply about this man, not because ofhis eccentricities, which probably drew her to him in the first place, butbecause of his genius. A brilliance that sits covered in dust and filth,like so many of his beautiful sculptures, covered in his dismal studio.
