Thierry Delva: Box Works

This exhibition of solid stone carvings by Halifax sculptor Thierry Delva combined his training as a stone mason with his ongoing interest in the relationship between the"container" and the"contained".  The carved limestone and sandstone objects referred to specific cardboard boxes, as they exist in the world, and were true to the dimensions and physical detailing of their referents.  A list of labels on the wall declared the contents of the boxes, suggesting the possibility of finding the actual carved object within the box.
