When Simoneau was about four years old, his father chopped down a tree that housed a nest full of baby crows. He was about 15 metres from the crash site and still remembers the plaintive cawing. This is how his family became, in spite of itself, the foster parents to four young mischievous corvids. Simoneau’s mother, armed with a Japanese Mamiya/Sekor camera, documented the newly found experimental relationship. The memory of these events and the series of work by his mother prompted Simoneau to develop his own improbable dialogue of works almost 35 years later. According to the artist, this work is a response to the work of his mother, Jeanne d’Arc Fournier, as well as an homage to the acclaimed Ravens series by Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase.

This work was printed in 2019 in an edition of 5 and 2 Artist Proofs. An archival signature label with the artist’s signature, title, and the edition number will be placed on the verso of the work once sold.

This auction coincides with the artist’s second solo exhibition, “Murder,” which was planned to be held at the Stephen Bulger Gallery. This work is from the "Murder" series.
