Donna Hiebert: Containment

Sculptor Donna Hiebert's most recent work involves three large enigmatic sculptural forms, situated in relation to three equally evocative wall works. The installation, which explores the nature of containment, is wide-ranging in its allusions - from caskets and sarcophagi, through ancient lingam forms -- always returns the viewer to a sense of the body in relation to sculpture, and to "what might be contained within". The exhibition also includes a small selection of other recent works by Hiebert, each imbued with a subtle poetic resonance that seems to arise out of the artist's particular material and formal sensibilities. Curated by Susan Gibson Garvey, the exhibition has been funded, in part, by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Culture.
