Parts & Labour brings together Garrett Gilbart’s deep respect for metalwork with a keen awareness of how making has changed in the age of machines.
Through his use of found metal objects (in this exhibition car body parts) —a material often associated with strength, permanence, and machinery—Gilbart invites us to think about the value of labour, both past and present. His hand cut motifs resonate with the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which championed the handmade in response to industrialization, and connects to a growing interest in craft across Canada today, supported by groups like Craft Ontario.
