WAVE Gregore Morin Who knows where the seeds of inspiration for this piece really came from. Did I steal it or copy it… doubtful, but that is as far as I can be sure of its origin. I feel that everything I see, every moment of experience, every one I have met, has something to say in this piece you see before you. I could say that it is inspired by my backyard creek where I played for days on end with my brother, damming and undamming, watching the skater bugs play along with us as we plotted to take over the world with our bug army. I could also say that it has heavy influence from my native Vancouver’s Hida art, or the many wood or clay carvings I made as a child. Maybe the drive with my wife Jennifer and our dog Cesar through the Utah desert, a place with very little precious water was the moment when all the little seeds planted so many years ago finally sprouted. All I know is that I get to put my name on it. 84
