NOW SHOWING AT MARSDEN WOO GALLERY: RUPERT ACKROYD, 'CATHEDRAL BLOCKS AND THISTLE SEEDS'

Our new show, Rupert Ackroyd's Cathedral Blocks and Thistle Seeds has just opened, and once more we find Ackroyd occupied with the idea of surface. This time his focus is the spiritual, and its manifestation on the surfaces of physical objects.

Ackroyd has introduced free floating thistle seeds into the gallery which are released at intervals by adapted wall clocks, and enclosed others in a pair of vitrines - in one, the seeds are at rest, in the other, they ride currents of air warmed by tea-lights. A truly captivating and magical exhibition, this is not to be missed!

The show runs until 2 May 2015, for more information see our press page: http://www.marsdenwoo.com/press.htm
