Phyllida Barlow : Bad Copies

12 Apr-17 Jun 2012

Overview

An artist and teacher who constantly questions the possibilities of sculpture by capturing a sense of the 'now', Phyllida Barlow (b. Newcastle 1944) is known primarily for her large-scale installations made from salvaged materials that are constructed on-site. This selection of drawings spans the 1960s to the present. Describing them as 'bad copies', Barlow's drawings are derived from her environment, filtered through memory and reconfigured in the light of her own sculptural concerns.
