Apu - In the High Places

Solo Exhibition at Cornerstone Arts, Didcot, Oxfordshire

In this installation of new sculpture works, Apu – In the High Places, the artist aims to share with visitors to the gallery the breathless, weightless sense of travelling through a high mountain landscape.  Returning to her studio after an extended research trip through South America Bryan felt that she could not shake the sensations of the High Andes from her mind.  It was as if she had inhaled an Apu (a spirit of the mountains).  Through various material experimentations she found that creating forms by moulding hardened muslin and drawing these forms together, with the help of a 3D Pen, she could evoke the landscapes imprinted on her mind.  The work at the Cornerstone will be the most ambitious iteration of these works.
