Dennis
Bergevin
The ability to
hear my inner voice has developed through my work as a sculptor.
Each piece represents music from the opera that is my life.
They come from a place within where the chic and the odd, the dramatic and the
beautiful,
the known and the strange, the quiet and the flamboyant, the tragic and the
farcical,
the enchanted and the charming gather together to serenade my life.
Each aria is sung without sound yet they vibrate from my soul.
They are my voice, sung with my hands and heard with my heart.
