Artwork description

The work, presented in Mount Royal Park, is carved out of a block of white granite that rests directly on the ground. Abstract in form, it reflects one of the central artistic concerns of the 1960s: the highlighting of material as subject.

The monolithic artwork explores the formal components of sculpture: material, weight, notion of stability. Its lateral faces are horizontally striated, but the spacing of the horizontal marks, in relief or counter-relief, varies on each face. The artwork, its surface unfinished, shows an inclination.
