Apu - In the High Places

An Exhibition by Denise Bryan

At Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot, Oxfordshire

9th September 2023 to 30th September 2023

 In this installation of new sculpture works, Apu – In the High Places, the artist aims to share with visitors to the gallery the breathless, weightless sense of travelling through a high mountain landscape.  Returning to her studio after an extended research trip through South America Bryan felt that she could not shake the sensations of the High Andes from her mind.  It was as if she had inhaled an Apu (a spirit of the mountains).  Through various material experimentations she found that creating forms by moulding hardened muslin and drawing these forms together, with the help of a 3D Pen, she could evoke the landscapes imprinted on her mind.  The work at the Cornerstone will be the most ambitious iteration of these works, created specifically for the Gallery.  The exhibition will also feature a series of charcoal drawings.

During the installation of the work, the public are invited to come along and see the artist working on the piece with the 3D Pen, drawing topographies in space.  The best days to see this will be 6th 7th 8th September (between 11.00am and 4.00pm)

 The exhibition will be open during Cornerstone Opening Hours from 9th September until 30th September.  For opening times and directions please visit.
