HISTORY: THE SCULPTURE SHACK CAME INTO BEING AS SPACE FOR SCULPTURE WITHIN OUR WONDERFUL ARTS CLUB IS A LITTLE LIMITED. OVER THE COURSE OF AN INSPIRING AFTERNOON AND SLIPPERY EVENING DALLAS AND ANGEL CAME UPON THE IDEA OF BUILDING A COVERED SHOW SPACE IN THE GARDEN. FIRST TO HOUSE THEIR OWN RECENT WORK AND THEREAFTER TO BE A VERSATILE TEMPORARY SPACE FOR THE USE OF OTHER MEMBERS AND EVENTS. THE SHACK REMAINED IN PLACE FOR FAR LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED, BECOMING A LITTLE BEACON OF NAUGHTINESS DOWN THE GARDEN PATH.
THE WORK: CREATED FROM FOUND OBJECTS MERGED WITH CAST AND ORIGINAL SCULPTED PIECES, 3D & 2D COLLAGE. THEMES OF THE POLITICAL, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF BEING IN THE HERE & NOW.

FURTHER INFORMATION: COLLECTION OF SCULPTURES, PRINTS AND EPHEMERA INCLUDED IN THIS SHOW INTERLINK IN A STORY, INITIALLY INSPIRED BY THE COURSE OF EMPIRE, A SERIES OF PAINTINGS BY THOMAS COLE.
A TRUNCATED JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY, TO POSE A QUESTION ABOUT THE FUTURE. ABOUT REPETITION, DIRECTION AND HOPE. USING THE FIGURE AS A VISUAL CENTRE PIECE WEARING THE EMOTIONAL, POLITICAL AND PHYSICAL RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS POSED. SERVING TO EMPHASISE THE ROLE OF OUR OWN SPECIES WITHIN THE SCHEMATIC. A REFLECTION OF SOCIETY. A REFLECTION OF FEARS, DREAMS, DESIRES AND CONSEQUENCES.
AS IN THE COURSE OF EMPIRE, THE PATH OF THIS GAME TAKES US THROUGH IDEAS OF GROWTH, EXPANSION AND DISSOLUTION. A SUGGESTION OF THEIR TIMELESS AND CYCLICAL NATURE.
