/DETAILS
The works chosen for this exhibition are simple found objects as they come to me. The work functions in opposition: the box references its mode of production, industry, labour and the social/political complexities involved in its creation, yet the finished form itself sits empty, full of potential, displaying the scars, wrinkles and wounds received through its short existence. From the ‘bring your own bag’ movement to issues of value, property and control, the humble cardboard box is a cultural vessel that overflows with contentious issues that permeate our society today.

Originally from Newfoundland, Zeke Moores has a BFA from NSCAD and an MFA from the University of Windsor, Ontario. With an extensive background in fabrication, blacksmithing and foundry, Moores is exhibiting nationally and internationally while teaching at the University of Windsor and at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.
