Aaron Angell

3 Jul-30 Aug 2015

Overview

Angell will present his most ambitious body of work to date. Angell will demonstrate the variety of his interests, experimenting with a range of previously unexplored materials and processes, including glass paintings and ceramics, as well as works in cork, aluminium and painted steel… including two giant steel dog chew shoes. The large gallery space will be ringed with mustard coloured short awnings reaching almost all the way to the vaulted chapel ceiling. These will feature sparsely embroidered patterns based on images from fossilised magnolia flowers. This awning fabric, a 1960’s plain Donegal tweed, will be remade by the original mill in Northern Ireland. These awnings will form a display system for some of his sculptures, others will be displayed in a structure in the centre of the room, loosely based on a homemade lean-to greenhouse that Angell encountered on the river near Mother Shiptons cave in Knaresborough.
