This exhibition in the RBC New Works Gallery will feature seven new sculptural works by Edmonton artist Catherine Burgess. Burgess is well known for her quiet, contemplative works that are based on arrangement of found objects, geometric forms and simplified shapes. They are interplays of materiality: stone, metal and found objects, as well as studies of solids and voids. In Burgess’ work disparate parts – such as a hollow steel cube or a split sphere of granite – are unified into a compelling and enigmatic whole.
