Mixing ancient blacksmith techniques with state-of-
the-art methods, Cairn Cunnane explores the depths
and limits of mediums to express his explorations of life.
The Ottawa-based sculptor is currently exploring
crossovers of figurative, architectural and plant forms
and their connections with the sense of mystery we
feel around us.
Cunnane's sculpture is a polished, shining arma-
ture-like form of round stainless tubing connecting randomly placed, coloured
glass openings. Four quadrants divided by horizontal planes with connecting
verticals create the spaces for the connections of these windows and doors. One
can see the external form while simultaneously seeing what is internal. The brain
is stunningly beautiful—a mystery of connections, and a connection to mysteries.
