Down, through and back again

By Hannah Leighton-Boyce 2018

Materials: copper. Down, through and back again is a site-specific work developed for the exhibition Each Toward the Other at Bury Sculpture Centre. Sited in a part of the building that was originally the library, the work responds to a section of flooring in the gallery where a spiral staircase led down to the archive. The individually placed pieces of copper function as an act of repair and reflection on the spaces we inhabit.

Persistent Bodies

Compassionate attention (after Yvonne Rainer)

In her hands, loose weave cotton between her palm and fingers, her mind elsewhere.
