exhibition: POST CHRYSALIS
Post Chrysalis at Sullivan+Strumpf Fine Art, 7 – 26 October 2009.
Post Chrysalis, a reference to the emergence from the cocoon, describes this exhibition of six remarkable emerging artists
working in various mediums, from crocheting, weaving, meccano construction, to painting. Three of the artists include:
Annie Aitken: uses plastic fruit and vegetable nets to ‘draw’ delicate vessels through stitching.
Helle Jorgensen: uses plastic bag yarn and crochet to make an ecological statement while celebrating nature’s marine beauty and commenting on its fragility.
Edward Waring: uses discarded meccano pieces in is sculptures which relate to docklands and the primary colours and graphics on the weatherworn hulls of ships.
