Full Fathom Five
Catalogue Number: 15
Title: Full Fathom Five, from the Exodus series
Artists: Marian Shapiro
Dimensions: 35cm diameter x 2cm deep
Materials: Marble, silk paper, mosaic mixed media
Series Statement:
The Exodus series is inspired by the refugee crisis. In many ways the current plight of refuges has been eclipsed in the public consciousness by the pandemic, but the issue is both ancient and ongoing.
The work springs from a conjunction of the personal and the political. The visual point of departure is multi-faceted. Inspired by old maps with their tears and discolourations, the maps at the back of in-flight magazines and the migration patterns of both birds and humans. The works explore humans caught up in events they can’t control, flight, movement, connections and rupture.
All works must remain in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition after which time shipping or pick up will be arranged through the artists.
The cost of shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
Please note: Artworks are not listed as 'physical' products but instead listed as a 'service'. This is due to the practicality of artworks being on exhibition until June 4th. After the exhibition closes, the artists will contact you to arrange shipping to your region.
