Turn It On Again - Glasgow Visit

We were introduced to Connor Kelly by Niall Macdonald and shown around his studio, it was in a arch under a railway bridge which had be converted into a studio space that he shared with 3 other people. I saw this piece while I was there and was pretty amazed at how they had got the plaster to hold its shape, no doubt it must be fairly fragile.

We then went to visit an exhibiton containing Connor Kelly and Niall Macdonald's work called Turn it on again. The work by Niall was something that interested me, I thought he'd been using plaster, but he told be that it is jesmonite which is a much tougher material than plaster and is easier to dye with pigments.

This piece was also in this exhibition. The ball shapes are austrich eggs with text on them, it looked like a poem. The one on the floor was not intended to be smashed, although it looks like it was intentional. I do hope our sculptures don't smash during the exhibition.
