Assoc. Prof. Caroline Bagenal’s exhibition Word and Line animates space with delicate linear sculptures made from marsh reeds covered in newspaper, challenging the viewer to think about landscape and architecture in new ways. The tall mass of vertical columns of Toron bristles with bamboo skewers, suggesting both winter trees and the exterior scaffolding of sticks projecting from the walls of African mosques. Newspaper covered forms create a collage of fragments of words and phrases punctuated with jolts of florescent color.
A large work made from completed crossword puzzles celebrates the handwritten word and newspapers as physical objects to be touched. Newspaper also introduces a political and cultural component to the work and alludes to the passage of time. Drawings made from florescent tape reinforce the themes of time, pattern, architecture and space.
On view through Dec. 16
Reception was Sat, Nov. 17, 4 – 7 pm
