Parenthood invites a delicate balance between being fully present for your children and staying true to your whole identity.

For Father’s Day, we invited composer and sound artist Maxime Lawrence from Quebec and visual artist Roger Boulay from New York to share their reflections on what it means to be both a father and an artist.

Both spent time at The Parcelles, creating space to reflect, make work, and consider how fatherhood shapes not only their lives, but their creative practices as well.

Their words remind us that art and parenthood are not opposing forces, but often part of the same story.

La parentalité nous invite à trouver un équilibre délicat entre être pleinement présent pour ses enfants et demeurer fidèle à l’ensemble de son identité.

À l’occasion de la fête des Pères, nous avons invité le compositeur et artiste sonore Maxime Lawrence, du Québec, ainsi que l’artiste visuel Roger Boulay, de New York, à partager leurs réflexions sur ce que signifie être à la fois père et artiste.

Tous deux ont séjourné à The Parcelles, s’offrant un espace pour ralentir, créer et réfléchir à la manière dont la paternité façonne non seulement leur vie, mais aussi leur pratique artistique.

Leurs mots nous rappellent que l’art et la parentalité ne sont pas des forces opposées, mais bien souvent les deux fils d’une même histoire.

During his residency at The Parcelles in Lac-Beauport, composer and sound artist Lawrence Moon / transformed the cottage into a quiet listening space, recording field sounds and beginning the score for a short film directed by longtime collaborator Jean-Christophe Yelle/ .

Working between ambient music, field recording, and cinematic sound design, his practice explores solitude, connection, and the emotional landscapes carried through sound.

Lawrence reflects on creativity as a grounding practice, the influence of fatherhood on his artistic life, and the importance of protecting space to create.

“I grew up with my Indigenous grandparents by a river, running barefoot through the grass, gathering little stones and catching frogs. Those moments shaped my first connection to creativity: playful, tactile, and free.”

« J’ai grandi avec mes grands-parents autochtones au bord d’une rivière, à courir pieds nus dans l’herbe, à ramasser de petites pierres et à attraper des grenouilles. Ces moments ont façonné mon premier lien à la créativité : ludique, tactile et libre. »
