"Our language is full of curiously physical idioms – a spanner in the works; the wheels coming off; the straw that broke the camel’s back. Hardwired into our speech is a tacit understanding that things might fail, crumble, fall apart – or simply, that they might change. What sculptural language is there?"
Published on the occasion of Fault Lines in 2018, this catalogue explores the works of each of the artists participating in the exhibition: Jonathan Baldock, Alice Channer, Angela de la Cruz and Holly Hendry. With essays written by Edward Ball (Freelands Artist Programme Curator, Freelands Foundation),
the publication also includes an experimental piece by poet and writer Holly Pester.
Each of the exhibition’s four UK-based artists make work that invokes sculptural metaphors of the fault line, a geological fault or crack in the ground that suggests an inherent weakness or precarity; the texts in this publication explore the ways in which the artists’ work allows emotional and interior states to bubble up to the surface.
