The Abundant Loss
Dexter-Barker Glenn

“Mired in the hustle of the street our Window Space faces,  Dexter Barker-Glenn’s three panel sculpture presents the fruits of an exchange of sorts: Dexter has bartered with Montreal dépanneur cashiers over the fates of the used lottery scratch cards. A fractal, stone-like sculpture erected in separate sections recreates a fortuneful scene. The symbolic providence of the harvest, its bountiful cornucopia and livestock grazing, is constituted in the window reflected by so many promises of wealth and prosperity. All carved in a dizzy technicolor. The Abundant Loss faces the street just like the stone bank facade it seeks to recreate.”
