Alex Head : Sculet and Gunsmoke

2 Apr-6 Apr 2011

Overview

Dispossessed and Borrowed Forms Open Daily from 12-5pm 2 - 6th April A sculptural exhibition of shifting identities, found objects and cinematic experience, Alex Head presents clay models orphaned by their creators – a collection of re-worked, re-fired and re-framed misfits. Abandoned sculptures are referred to by the artist as Sculets, a term originally used by his father to describe a neglected item of cutlery found at the bottom of the kitchen sink. Drawing on the radiant mystery of first encounters this imaginative space is fed by a world of shadows and make-believe born from the zoetropic installation Gunsmoke.
