Pieces from Angela Palmer’s Life Lines London exhibit on display through June 15 at the Waterhouse & Dodd gallery.
About the exhibit:
Waterhouse & Dodd’s upcoming show by Angela Palmer takes the viewer on a journey through space and time. Using digital information provided by MRI and CT scans, Angela peels back layers to uncover a hidden natural world and ‘maps’ these patterns onto individual sheets of glass. These are encased to form beautiful sculptures outlining the complexity and elegance of not just the human body. “From certain angles, above and from the side, they become invisible, mere glass. From other vantage points, however, they are exquisite celebrations of when the ordinary become extraordinary. Palmer simultaneously maps the natural and the sublime.” Andrew Billen 2012.
Belgian designer Charles Kaisin hosted a dinner during the art brussels fair entitled ‘The Fantasies of Charles’ which included a 10 foot (3 meter) solid oak and beach table. The horizontal surface is supported by several trees down the center of the piece which continue past the top of the work, the branches reaching the ceiling of the space. The trunks take the place of instead of evenly positioned legs in a seemingly random order. While some trees continued upwards, others grow through the surface into candle holders just past the surface of the work, giving the impression that the table top is floating between the foliage.
