Compass Exhibition at the Crypt Gallery St. Ives.
All welcome for the opening night on Saturday 2nd September 5.30 – 7.30pm
‘COMPASS’
Stephanie Sandercock showing 30 brand new abstract paintings in Compass Exhibition alongside sculptor, Julie Moselen.
Highly textured paintings on rusted steel and wood are inspired by the four directions and corresponding elements, journeys through the landscape and the passing of time.
Julie Moselen Corten steel sculptures represent the ancient Nine Maidens stone circle at Boskednan and holed stones of Tregeseal while others are influenced by the universal laws of nature, infinite cycles, and the movement of light.
The exhibition will resonate with the colours of metals and coastal rock. Glistening gold, bronze, rusted steel and verdigris.
Scratches and sparks. Tracks through rocks. A melting pot of earth, fire, water, air and metal.
Exhibition runs from Sunday 3rd – Friday 15th September at The Crypt Gallery, Norway Square, St. Ives, Cornwall TR26 1NA
Compass Exhibition featured in the September issue of St. Ives Local.
KINDRED SPIRITS
I first met Julie last year, when she came to visit Whites Old Workshops in St. Ives, after discovering my work online. She went on to tell me how her heart ached for her beloved Cornwall. Born and raised in Newlyn, she later fell in love, moved to New Zealand and together with her husband made a home and family.
Having a deep appreciation for each other’s work we talked about creating a joint exhibition for two weeks in The Crypt, underneath the St. Ives Society, such a beautiful large space in the heart of St. Ives, close to the harbour.
HOMECOMING.
A year on and the dream is now a reality! Julie packed her bags, flew from New Zealand to the UK and secured a temporary studio close to her family roots in Newlyn. She began cutting and welding, making brand new elegant Corten steel sculptures for September.
“Through a deeply raw and eternal need for connection to my Cornish culture my work is inspired by the ancient monuments of West Penwith. The content of my work is an introspective conversation that deals with the ethereal and the non-material of this world. The contrasting light and dark of our journey through life. It is primarily about the aesthetic form, whilst focusing on the play of light and the presence of shadows.” Julie Moselen.
Much of my own inspiration is from the Cornish coastal rocks. I enjoy creating beautiful textures using limestone and marble plaster and mica crystals that catch the light like quartz in the rock. Driven by my inner compass and with the four directions in mind, each wall of the Compass exhibition will resonate with North/Air, South/Fire, West/Water and East/Earth.
