Kinska: My Opera House
Sweet installation at the Now Gallery a journey into the mind of Argentinian artist Kinska. The idea started when the artist spent time in hospital for a hip replacement where she processed the experience via her sketchbooks which are shown in the show. Following this she made about 1000 handmade ceramic pieces which are displayed in a wooden house to represent her studio under a rainy sky of ceramic teardrops or Gotas. The ceramics were really cute and there was so much to look at. What looked a bit confusing at first but did lead you to think about different aspects of a stay in hospital. It was a nice touch to have more sketchbooks on the outside of the hut so that you could add your own ideas. Closes 22 September 2019
