ALISON WILDING – TESTING THE OBJECTS OF AFFECTION
2024-09-09Wilding’s work is often discussed in terms of materials and shadow, concealment and revelation; the artist refers to her work as ‘mostly abstract sculptures’. Outside of abstraction, her practice is very much related to human desires and bodily encounters. As Wilding says, ‘sculpture can be sexy’. Wilding often pushes together and juxtaposes unlikely relationships between materials, including bronze, alabaster, wood, rubber, paper, copper, string and sand, illustrating a focus and continued exploration of balance, weight and line. This exhibition also gives us an insight into the scale at which Wilding works. Small arrangements of sculptures are presented on worktables from the artist’s East London studio. Works of an intimate scale, including a tiny desiccated frog found in the basement of the artist’s home, are shown in conversation with large free-standing and floor-based sculptures.
Exhibition runs through to October 26th, 2024
