Richard GREAVES

(Canada, 1952-)

Richard Greaves works in the Quebec forest, where he builds his “plank castles” without measuring instruments, only with a nylon thread, using materials recovered from abandoned old barns. The land he purchased with a few friends at the end of the 1980s is covered by some twenty of these strange sheds, documented here by photographer Mario Del Curto, whose existence is summarized by the artists as follows: “Everything I do here is in order to sleep better.” (Picture by Mario Del Curto)
