Artist Statement:
My sculptures illustrate the
complexity and beauty of human
form in two and
three-dimensional
compositions. I intend to
demonstrate the depth as well
as the foibles of the human
endeavor, along the journey of
both physical and spiritual
evolution. ...

A rare treat
Large, compelling exhibitions of contemporary sculpture are rare in these parts. So, one must applaud Galerie Montcalm in old Hull for a fascinating show of contemporary sculpture from artists throughout
Quebec.
The title of the exhibition roughly translates as Sculpture In All Senses. It contains about three dozen works from members of the Quebec Sculpture Council. Every possible material imaginable is used to create this very diverse exhibition.
My personal favourite was called In the Name of My Grandmothers by Josee St-Jean of Gatineau. A very unusual chador covers a life-sized, female form. The chador is made of 1,075 black, picture frames so small each one could only display a postage stamp.
The result is a garment that covers a woman yet can not hide her. We can peek through the centres of the tiny picture frames.
The sculpture is reminiscent of the themes found in the work of Ottawa artist Shahla Bahrami who has created a body of work over the years showing how seemingly identical looking chador-covered women are
still able to express unique personalities.
No. 2 on my list was a small but charming fibreglass and marble sculpture, I can do it, by Bozena Happach of Montreal. A woman, with what appears to be rabbit ears, reclines in an ambiguous, unnatural position. Is she laughing? Offering sex? Doing calisthenics? One could debate this forever.
