Item Description
Precious gems as they are found (The Original), 2022, wood and foam board, 17 in x 14 1/4 in x 2.5 in
A hand carved relief which served as the original model for a larger edition featured in the current exhibition “Le rendu” at the Ottawa Art Gallery. The artwork grapples with absence and grounds Secter’s installation titled “Polish” which explores normative masculinity and the stifling effects resulting from the dominant and hegemonic social order.
Precious gems as they are found (The Original), bois et carton mousse, 17 po x 14 1/4 po x 2.5 po
Le relief sculpté à la main a servi de modèle original à une version plus grande se trouvant dans l’exposition Le rendu, actuellement à l’affiche à la Galerie d’art d’Ottawa. L’œuvre confronte l’absence et sert de point d’ancrage à l’installation de Secter intitulée « Polish », qui s’intéresse à la masculinité normative et à l’étouffement causé par l’ordre social hégémonique et dominateur.
