Stalactites and Stalagmites is a collaborative work by michele bevis and Marlena Basser. The exhibition explores these well-known forms and their relationship using modern day materiality, including painted blocks, glass, ceramics, metalwork and upcycled readymade objects.In nature, stalactites are the fragile long forms dripping down from the ceiling of a cave. Over thousands of years, the mineral rich water drips from the ceiling onto the cave floor creating their partner stalagmite. Eventually, the pointy stalactite meets the surface of the stalagmite completing the connection, and becoming a column.
Both artists have responded to these naturally occurring phenomena through sculptural forms. For Marlena the formation represents the metaphor of heaven meeting earth, speaking to the aspiration of living in alignment with our higher selves. Michele uses contemporary and found materials to create work that invites us to look at the fragility of life on earth.
Stalactites and Stalagmites will be opening Friday July 7th, 6pm. Please come and join us for light supper and start the show.
This show will continue until the 28th of July and will be on display, alongside the works of 10 other artists Wednesdays to Sundays 10am - 3pm.
