Vera Mont ~ Box Lunch
June 4 - July 6, 2003
This exhibition of Vera Mont could be considered a ten-year
perspective of previously un-exhibited sculpture. The work
is assembled from a diverse selection of materials, touching
on many themes; a reflective observation on the analytical
concerns of our present cultural preoccupations. The work
ranges from the sexual allusions of He Shall She Shell,
an arrangement of constructed shells, to cosmology and the
creation myth. The egg, cosmic or otherwise, features prominently
as the source of creation and surprise. The sculpture Big
Bird stands erect in his multi-coloured feathered finery,
surrounded by the archetypal little green men from Mars
posing in what could be the classic cliché: ‘take
me to your leader.’ Mont’s work is not without
humour.Formerly a ceramist of twenty years, Vera Mont currently
lives just outside of Williamsford, where she’s
been a resident for the last eight years.
