Les Bicknell has created site specific pieces for the windows of our Imago Gallery show.
Les says about the work . . .
'Whilst researching Pugin in the V&A’s study rooms a
catalogue of designs for furniture and
fittings in the gothic revival style became a starting point for an exploration
of the repeat within Pugin’s work and the creation
of excessive digital book objects.
The sculptural forms are derived from examining the book
form. The work explores the idea of form as a content and manipulation as the
narrative. The bookworks are positioned conceptually and physically between and
within the idea of both sculpture and book. The hybrid nature of the pieces
finds its roots in both forms – exploring and challenging both genres.'
Les Bicknell is an artist & also lectures at Norwich University College of the Arts.
