Hide and Seek, 1985

Materials: burlap, hydrocal plaster
Dimension: 63 x 30 in.
Site: Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario [Site specific installation for the exhibition Interventions in the Landscape] 
Curator: Merijean Morrissey-Clayton.

The female body has often been equated with nature. By juxtaposing these plaster body casts against the tree, Hide and Seek is a playful expression of the male and female relationship between the phallic trees and the soft body shells.
