Keeping Abreast

"A number of friends and acquantancies have had breast cancer and several have lost their battle with it. With a number of ceramic and raku breasts these were made as part of a show celebrating what breasts we have left." Miriam Saphira

Gone to the dogs - the Satallite Pod is glowing

We thought limiting the colours, and having a theme of dogs would be fun. We chose red for its bold statement, and it’s paid off as the pod seems to emanate a red glow into the gallery space.

Podtopia continues with an installation by Lyn Dallison and myself.

Gone To The Dogs is a collaborative installation by Lyn Dallison and Rachel Collier – Wilson.

The work of both artists is centred around domestic skills: Collier – Wilson takes traditionally rendered life drawings, drafts them onto pattern paper then machine sews them; Dallison uses fabric and thread on 3D objects to change the surface and shift the perception of the object . Hence there is a common thread.

The idea for the installation came from the challenge for the artists of doing small works for the Pod at Satellite Gallery. To maintain interest in the exhibition in the Pod both artists felt change and challenge necessary. This creates a dialogue that helps the artists move forward with new ideas.
