A single sculpture may contain a collection of such disparate materials as sandstone, plaster, aluminum, burlap, quartz, Hydrocal, rubber, Plexiglas, then more plaster, before being finished with a luminous patina of shellac and carnauba wax. The rigour of Peck’s process reflects his roots in minimalism and conceptual art, while his insistence on the value of making reminds us that the body is truly our fundamental means of knowledge and discovery. </font></div><div dir="auto" class="" style="font-family: ArialMT; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><font face="Helvetica" class=""><br class="" style="font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">Crania is co-curated by Doug Kirton and David MacWilliam, and presented in collaboration with the School of Art Gallery, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg; Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge; University of Waterloo Art Gallery; and CANADA, New York City.
