Stumble: Stephen Schofield

Date 9 avril 2010 - 17 octobre 2010
Exposition préparée par Sarah Quinton

Sommaire d'exposition

Montreal artist Stephen Schofield’s one-and-a-half life-sized sculptures are intensely sensual. His patchwork figures, based on Pliny the Elder’s tale of Dibutade recounting the origin of drawing, are mapped from the male body and then expertly tailored out of old clothes. Soaked in sugar water and then inflated, the cloth becomes a taut skin that contains the human forms that hover between a highly spirited/spiritual realm and a dream world filled with personal reverie.



Stephen Schofield would like to acknowledge the support of Fonds qué bé cois de la recherche sur la socié té et la culture (FQRSC).
