'Take Out One Ton', 2005. Installation in studio; at Mount St. Vincent University Art Gallery (2006).

Medium: Han Baiyu Chinese Marble, 114 elements, 13.4 x 12 x 14.5 cm.

'Take Out One Ton' considers the effects of transliteration and translation and questions the creation and imposition of meanings and identity.

This work consists of 114 forms cut out of a one-ton block of Chinese architectural grade marble. The shape references the generic takeout container that has become the iconic symbol of Chinese takeout worldwide, a symbol that is unknown to the stone cutters in Shanghai, China.
