now entering the modern art of oxford the exhibition - title : FIELD
artist:Anne Hardy
Jonathan hoopers opinion
okay so the first room you walk up to from the stairs you will be visited by this piece,having a good look with the surroundings there is plentiful amounts of space that gets filed up with boxes of scrap stone chippings and sculpted orbs and triangular pieces spread across the floor the walls are plain white but a large blue carpet hangs up blocking the view towards the next installation and leads to staff keeping check and waiting to give advice. at first glance it seems like a piece from a real wall with all the sheds of paper reaming from the staples within the image! but this is a complete flat photograph which contains two spots of light reflection amassed amount of paper shredded remains and staples also within the photo is a hanging pencil on strung with a wooden supporting a hb pencil
checking out the lighting towards the photo-hung above artwork
a box of stone chippings lie on the ground!
also crafted items that are on the floor !
Second piece -containment
this room had blue covering all angles of the perimeter of the installation ,long florescent tubes were nicely positioned around and underneath the piece within he installation was a dark space filled with sounds and noises that incite you that you are in the presence of the artist in the making
third piece - Sound installation
sounds pieces bouncing from left to right almost as you are in the presence of the artist sculpting away with installation pieces
left over work audio input from creating work.
