Tensile Strength
‘Tensile Strength’ is an exhibition showcasing the work of four women sculptors whose work stands on the threshold of another world, the post-education world of art.
Whether it is the seemingly absurd sculptures of Rosaline Zipporah, the sinister insectoid work of Lily Honey-Doyle, the molten abstraction of Iona Ogilvy Stuart or the overt humour of Lucy Young, all have one thing in common: a dedication to exploring the material qualities of metal through sculpture.
For this exhibition, these four female artists have brought together a selection of works that highlight and celebrate the craftswomanship evident in their practices.
