Dave Dyment | Incomplete Open Cube







Dave Dyment
Incomplete Open Cube
Sackville, Canada: Self-published, 2026
15 x 15 cm.
Edition of 25 signed and numbered copies


Last month Jon Clayton hosted the International Sackville Cube Day event as part of the book launch for his new graphic novel Nowhere. Poet Geordie Miller read, singer Julie Doiron performed and a dozen or so visual artists displayed cube related art works. 

My contribution was a take-away envelope containing an image of the cube that I took on our second visit to the town, when the fully automated refrigerator building was not yet complete.

Paul Henderson | In the Dark





Paul Henderson
In the Dark
Sackville, Canada: Self-published, 2023
36 pp., 8 x 10”, staple-bound
Edition of 150 signed and numbered copies


A 36-page book consisting of full-colour, full-bleed images of thirty analog collages produced between 2019 and 2023. The title is printed on uncoated, recycled paper stock. To maintain a bookwork free of text, an info card with a list of titles is tipped in. 

The works combine imagery from children’s books with art historical references and religious ephemera. While playful and funny, an undercurrent of violence is revealed in the source material. 

Paul Henderson’s two-person exhibition with Andrea Morton is up now at the Blue Building in Halifax, with a rescheduled opening reception for Saturday February 10th, from 6 to 8pm. Titled The Eye is the Blade, the exhibition continues until March. The Blue Building is at 2482 Maynard Street. Visit their website, here, for more information. 

Read Jon Claytor’s review of the exhibition here. 

In the Dark can be purchased directly from the artist, here for $20 CDN + shopping  ($5 in Canada and $15 Internationally).
