Cathy's Art Diary

Colourful but   strange exhibition  at the Now Gallery by fashion designer Richard Malone. The show looked both at Malone’s design process and the relationship between fashion, movement and art. At the core were three hanging fabric sculptures in bright colours. You are encouraged to put these on and experience what they are like to move in however, I must admit, a middle aged lady on her own felt a bit too self-conscious to do this, it would be fun with a group of people.   There were also big projections of people moving in the work but from the inside of the gallery these were just pale shadows. I only realised after I left that they showed up much better on the outside windows and would look very striking at night. There were also interesting displays on Malone’s design process but these felt a bit random and needed a bit more explanation. Closes on 3 February 2019
