Thierry Delva: Box Works

This exhibition of solid stone carvings by Halifax sculptor Thierry Delva combines 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 refer to specific cardboard boxes, as they exist in the world, and are true to the dimensions and physical detailing of their referents. A list of labels on the wall declares the contents of the boxes, suggesting the possibility of finding the actual carved object within the box. Curated by Susan Gibson Garvey, with a brochure essay by Steven Holmes, the exhibition has been funded by The Canada Council Exhibition Assistance Program.
