Installation by Catherine Gray
The Holburne Museum, Bath.
2nd-19th October 2012
Feral pigeons from Sidney Gardens come from beyond the
Museum, while the vibrant colours of ceramic glazes, inspired by the Museum’s
collection of early English porcelain, come from within. The two converge to
create a passel of ceramic pigeons, which dine alongside the public in this
unusual display ‘cabinet’.
Situating the work was a simple choice; the architectural
design of the building’s new extension had created an intriguing void between
two walls of glass, bringing the outside in and the inside out. It was this
void that I wanted the work to inhabit.
