Found Objects, Transformed
All of Squish’s works of art, whether antique Assemblage or paper Collage, are unique.
Every piece is original and sourced entirely from found material. Squish takes time and care in finding each treasure, each piece of paper.
In 2012, while travelling in Hong Kong, Jack “Squish” Lessard discovered the medium of Collage, and it became a new artistic passion.
While in Hong Kong, he bought what is called a ‘chop’ with his name on it, and in honour of where he discovered this medium, he now signs all his works with this Chinese stamp.
For collage works, he spends hours scouring bookstores and mercilessly cutting into the pages of the books and ephemera that he finds. For Assemblage, road trips to antique markets and faraway auctions yield the nostalgic trinkets that make his art come to life.
