Dead Heads
Thursday, April 13, 2006
I have just got back from a holiday to the Westcountry and whilst there I visited the Eden Project in Cornwall. I was not expecting to find any art nor inspiration but to my amazement found that the Eden Project is a great supporter of the arts as well as plants. In the temperate biome there is a fabulous sculptural assemblage by Tim Shaw called The Rites of Dionysus. Part of this work is comprised of pikes or stakes with rabbit or possibly hares heads on them. (Not real ones, they are made of copper) I was mesmerised by this totally uncanny juxtaposition and felt the need to draw!! (Not happened for a long while.) It was like Barry Flannagan meets Annette Messager. You can read about Tim Shaw and the Eden Project here, http://www.edenproject.com/3499_243.htm
