Dip Strike Fold
Leah Byrne

Exhibition Dates: August 9, 2016 - September 30, 2016

Dip Strike Fold is a material exploration of geography, using stones sourced from quarries throughout Alberta. Among them are those that form the urban foundation: limestone, sandstone, and granite, while the colour palette draws on stratigraphic maps of the region. Through a consideration of texture, density, and scale, the work is an attempt to understand the cross-section of earthly materials and human interpretation. It is both a response to and an imposition upon the natural qualities of the stones themselves.
