dc.description.abstractMonument to Dust The abstract expressionist sculpture, Monument to Dawn, by William (Bill) Epp first saw light in 1967 when the mild steel work was presented in an exhibition by the National Gallery of Canada, Sculpture ’67, in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. 57 years later, Jean-Sébastien Gauthier, Epp’s grandson, dismantles this monumental artwork in a processual project entitled, Monument to Dust. Part culmination, part provocation, a celebration of ruin, and enactment of ethics of care, this response to familial love and legacy acknowledges impermanence and questions the life cycles of artists and artworks, intentions, methodologies, and style.
