Sputnik (to travel with)

Sputnik (to travel with) is a regenerate sculpture. Siobhan Tate will be in residence processing raw clay and loading it onto an articulated steel tube clamp armature. About As Siobhan orbits this bodily entity, feeding it with material, urgent adjustments needed to rebalance the articulated armature often determine her next move. Over time clay shrinks, putting pressure on the steel joints; before cracking, falling, revealing new planes and calling for readjustment and re-formation using its own recycled material. Seemingly in sympathy with the clay, Siobhan’s own body feels the tear and repair of muscles as it reaches, stretches, presses, pulls, breathes and rests. Wrestling with structure and gesture, Siobhan finds herself thinking about the conditions through which we move and can be moved. Open Fri-Sun 12-4pm & Mondays and Thursdays by appointment.
