FALLIS IN WONDERLAND
Abigail Fallis, sculptor in residence at Pangolin London brings you Fallis in Wonderland.
The exhibition includes a feast of objects such as a gigantic diamond dome, shoals of strange, skeletal fish and human heads dissected like packs of cards.
The exhibition, as you may have guessed has been inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Fallis uses humor and absurd distortion to draw our attention to issues that trouble her such as mass consumerism, scientific distortion and environmental destruction. Fallis says : “When we consider our planet and its entire species we really are living in a wonderland, in these works I am concerned about the growing divide between human kind and nature.”
A particularly eye catching piece is The Looking Glass, a large dome structure of 100 glass diamonds that shimmers seductively from a distance, but on closer inspection harbours a strange menagerie of mammals, reptiles, birds and fish whose eyes peer menacingly out at the viewer.
