Description

Seven individual installations made from bronze, stainless steel, rock and rope. The collection of artworks is called “Lacuna, or a missing piece”. “Mother” portrays a pulley system where a massive rock is suspended in the air by a piece of rope. Visitors can stand on the other side of the pulley and hold onto the rope, giving the illusion they are lifting the boulder.

Maskull Lasserre has a BFA (Visual Art and Philosophy) and an MFA (Sculpture) from Mount Allison and Concordia Universities respectively. He has taught drawing and sculpture at the California College of Art, Concordia, York, Quest, and Emily Carr universities. His work appears on Canadian coinage and has been exhibited internationally at Banksy’s Dismaland, and the Museum of Art and Design in New York amongst others.
