Rochelle Fry has paired two new large wood and clay sculptures with sounds created by the band Squares and Triangles for her first solo exhibition in London.
On each of 43 Inverness Street’s floors is placed a 1 meter square wooden box filled with clay and an amplifier. Fry has dug by hand to nearly the bottom of the clay to create a horn-like clawed-at hole. With an intensity of material surface, each of these clay absences is mated to a soundtrack provided by Squares and Triangles.
This exhibition continues Fry’s interest in pushing the basic properties of sculptural mediums to the extreme. In The Idiot, a solo exhibition at The James Hockey Gallery in Farnham, sculptures were cast in bronze using a technique which pushed the ability of casting to its limits; leaving spindly melted-looking post-geometries of metal as a testament to failure. Yellow silk banners recently shown at Young London, at V22 in London displayed the lightness of colour and material, where faded sections of taped together textile competed to reach ephemeral buoyancy.
