Heather and Ivan Morison's The Long Afternoon of Earth is a new series of sculptures, ‘growing’ in the spaces of The Hive in Worcester, The work has been commissioned by Meadow Arts and is the result of a year-long artists’ residency.
About
"Made of recycled books and natural pigments The Long Afternoon of Earth is twelve vessel/objects that ask you to stop, settle, read. Accompanying the reader, the student, the researcher, the visitor and the luncher, the works speak of Burmese cats purring on a knee while reading, a roaring fire that invites you to settle with a travel book, a houseplant sitting in a stand next to your favourite reading spot. Twelve of these objects/vessels are placed around The Hive, each with a tree growing in them creating a dozen discreet spaces or settings. Sit here, they will say, next to the art and read, study, lunch, or snooze, and feel at home, feel warmth."
Heather Morison, 2018
The sculptures can be seen at the Hive until 1 July 2018: look out for an artist's talk by Heather Morison on 24 April and a family workshop inspired by the artwork on 12 May.
