Abstract

Cybéle Young, a Toronto sculptor who makes small Japanese paper constructions of everyday urban symbols, including T-shirts, fire hydrants, shoes, chairs and handbags--has come up with some playful titles for her pieces. In her solo show, "Toys that Linger," opening at Toronto's Prime Gallery on May 29, the artist (who makes most of her income from art fairs in the United States) is displaying these paper constructions as well as some small bronze sculptures that use the same iconography. Her fascination for all things little started as a child when she would build miniature farms with tiny tools. Today, her seven-year-old daughter Calder remains a huge inspiration. In fact, Young and her husband David named their child after the American sculptor Alexander Calder "more for his philosophy than his art," she explains.
