Fiona Hall

“CASTLES IN THE AIR OF THE CAVE DWELLERS”

Fiona Hall’s sculptures of “Castles in the air of the cave dwellers” are primarily constructed of (polyurethane) polymer based resins that have been made in the shape of a human brain, with the attachments of different types of insect dwellings. By casting the polymer resin in a mould, Fiona Hall then releases the sculpture from the cast and carves it into its desired final shape.

This particular piece is only one in a series of twelve from the “Castles in the air of the cave dwellers” that is suspended and exhibited in mid air.

Rosalie Gascoigne

“TARTAN”

Rosalie Gascoigne’s artwork “Tartan” is predominantly made up of wood from old crates that she has collected from numerous sources, such as the side of the road or even a particular rubbish tip that she visits regularly in the country. Rosalie then saws the crate into geometrical pieces such as triangles, squares and rectangle. She then reconfigures it into a way that she see’s fit or until the true beauty of the work is completed. The dimensions of this piece are 91cm x 93cm and the collected cut pieces are then glued onto a backing board.
