Robin Peck: Crania

Based in Fredericton, NB, artist, writer and educator Robin Peck has created a seriesof sculptures that may or may not resemble human heads and are composed of unlikely materials ranging from lead to burlap and from gravel to gold paint. The title of each work includes its materials, along with the time and date of its creation, revealing the conceptual impulse behind the series. At the same time, the curators tell us, the mark of the artist’s hand “reinforces the body as a primal way of knowing.”
