Cemetery Chapel

Projecting movement into space, Elaine Wong’s subtle interventions exist in corners and cracks, suggesting slippage into another time or place. The fluctuations of light are in fact small windows onto the motion of bodies of water. They are part of an ongoing attempt by the artist to unravel her own explorations of daily life and encounters with the world around her.

The process of making is fundamentally important to Will Cruickshank’s sculptural works. He devises his own complex, makeshift machines, by repurposing parts from old cement mixers, bicycles, chainsaws and potters’ wheels. Most often these machines spool, wind, bind and overlay layers of yarn. But in the case of pieces on show here, the process is somewhat reversed, with the full force of pressurised water employed to shape spinning plaster objects revealing layers of thread embedded within. The resulting collection of works are mostly vessels, with a votive or ceremonial air – suggestive of both the water and the industrial technologies that formed them.

Video documentation of Will’s processes is on show at Dawe’s Twineworks.
