The travel sketch plays an important role for the artist. In Montreal, Sally Lee Sheeks made sketches of three fountains: the large fountain in the Lafontaine Park basin, Jocelyne Alloucherie's fountain sculpture Tables de jours, and the fountain basin in Place des Arts. Using plumbing and domestic materials, the artist has designed small (20 to 50 centimeters high) and functional models of the fountains that she will present in a public place. A series of public visits (in collaboration with Amélie Brault) is organized to describe the real fountains through stories, urban legends and allegories. The project will later be presented in Helsinki and Budapest.



In association with the Arts Council of Finland.


After studying visual arts and horticulture, Sally Lee Sheeks (Helsinki) recently completed a post-master's degree (meisterschüler) in Germany. She has exhibited in Canada and Germany.
