    "Being": Selected Sculptures by Ted Fullerton

    Throughout the grounds.

    Ted Fullerton's dramatic scultures are on display throughout the grounds until August 28, 2011. According to Fullerton's artist's statement, these works reflect imagery that is "symbolic and metaphoric by nature, usually associated or interpreted with myth that alludes to dualism or the personification of the force of nature, as well as human nature".

    Since his career began in the 1970s, Fullerton has exhibited across Canada, England, Australia, Spain and Yugoslavia. Fullerton has completed significant public sculpture commissions and his works are in private, corporate and public collections across Canada and in the United States.He has received numerous awards for his painting, printmaking and sculpture, and has been featured in numerous publications. In the 1990s Fullerton was artist-in-residence at Cape Dorset and at Canadore College and he currently is co-ordinator of the Fine Arts program at Georgian College.

    This show is a joint presentation of the Alton Mill and Headwaters Arts, who gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ontario Arts Council.
