KATE LYDDON : Mark Tanner Sculpture Award

17 Apr-31 May 2015

Overview

Sculptural works made the over last 12 months with the support of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award. Kate Lyddon responds to what she sees as the “surreality of our existence, how that experience manifests in human behaviour and social interaction… the madness and crudeness of the world.” Her characters exist at the extremes of possibility and beyond, fusing glamorous outerwear or a svelte silhouette with grotesque features or accoutrements. Weighing in against these narrative suggestions is an intuitive maker’s engagement with materials and processes - an essentially modernist approach to making.
