Art @ Edgcumbe - In Pictures
Tuesday, 8 August, 2023 — Students respond to Mount Edgcumbe's vast estate with innovative sculptures and artefacts
<p>The <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/events/art-edgcumbe">Art @ Edgcumbe</a> open air exhibition allows second year BA (Hons) Craft & Material Practices students to design and build site-specific artefacts to define a sense of the geography and history of Mount Edgcumbe. Running from 26 May, students worked from a brief and were asked to create work that connected to the rich stories and history of Mount Edgcumbe.</p>
Nathan Soper's 'Abyssi', Sarah Drury's 'Crystal Clear', Sirun Chiarini's 'Lethe's Mermorium' and Elizabeth Vargova's '71'
<p>The work displayed has been meticulously handmade using a range of innovative craft processes to provide the audience with interactive, visual and auditory experiences.</p>
Elliot Limberg's 'Captive Abode', Caroline Barr's 'Limpets on the Landscape' and Liz Vass' 'Theory According to Darwin'.
<p dir="ltr">The sculptures have been placed throughout the estate using a range of display methods so the public can discover the work hidden amongst the winding paths throughout the gardens. The pieces on display include: a spider web inspired installation, a large limpet made of recycled umbrellas and plastic waste and a series of canopies inspired by the lucid patterns of bugs, bees and wasps. <br /></p>
Craig Grant's 'Land and Sea', Nichola Steven's 'Born in the Purple' and Antonia Creavin Jerwood's 'Botanical Dopamine'
