Abstract 7

Elise Muller

Abstract 7

Carrara Marble


Abstract #7 is carved from Carrara Marble and depicts a continuous line that is twisted and intertwined. There is no beginning and no end to this sculpture, much like a Mobius strip.  This is the seventh abstract sculpture that I have completed inspired by the endless variations on that theme. This sculpture was in front of the Elora Centre for the Arts last year as part of the Elora Sculpture Project.


Elise Muller

Elise Muller’s granite sculpture "Attunement" won the 2018/19 Canadian Sculpture Competition at Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.  Elise has been sculpting stone since 2001 when she took her first of many courses at Haliburton School of Art + Design.  Elise carves stylized figures in a variety of stone like limestone, granite, and marble. She enjoys the whole process of stone sculpting from picking the stone to chiseling, to seeing the figures emerge, to filing, to polishing.   


In 2016 Elise carved the limestone sculpture of a family that is in front of the Dorset Community Health Hub. Three of her sculptures have been on public display in Elora and Fergus as part of the Elora Sculpture Project from 2016-2018.  Elise was part of the Haliburton Downtown Sculpture Exhibition in 2019 with her limestone “Dancers” and pleased to return in 2023 with “Abstract #7”.  


Elise also teaches stone carving and is a part time faculty member of HSAD.  Elise lives near Dorset and shares Stone Tree Studio with her partner, furniture maker Cirvan Hamilton.

Land Acknowledgment

We would like to acknowledge that we are located on ancestral lands, the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabe covered by the Williams Treaties. This area, known to the Anishinaabe as “Gidaaki”, has been inhabited for thousands of years – as territories for hunting, fishing, gathering and growing food.


For thousands of years Indigenous people have been the stewards of this place. The intent and spirit of the treaties that form the legal basis of Canada bind us to share the land “for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow”.
