'Take Out One Ton', 2005. Installation
in studio; at Mount St. Vincent University Art Gallery (2006).
Medium: Han Baiyu Chinese Marble,
114 elements, 13.4 x 12 x 14.5 cm.
'Take Out One Ton' considers
the effects of transliteration and translation and questions the
creation and imposition of meanings and identity.
This work consists of 114 forms
cut out of a one-ton block of Chinese architectural grade marble.
The shape references the generic takeout container that has become
the iconic symbol of Chinese takeout worldwide, a symbol that
is unknown to the stone cutters in Shanghai, China.
