This exhibition puts sculpture and still life in conversation with one another to highlight their differences and dynamisms. Both disciplines revolve around real objects - sculpture produces them, while still life renders three dimensions on a flat plane. Intrinsic to each therefore is the quality of stillness, a capture and communication of the real object. However, still does not mean static- made evident in the variety of style, approach, and concept across the span of this exhibition. Both practices are ever evolving, changing, and defying the limits of stillness. The complete exhibition can be viewed online at
Monday to Friday: 10:00 - 18:00 Saturday:10:30 - 17:30 Sunday:11:00 - 17:00
