A solo exhibition of new work by award-winning artist Rosie Edwards has opened at Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre.
“Genetic Material” presents a series of inter-related sculptures developed over the past year by Rosie, the 19th recipient of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award, for 2021/22.
Assembled playfully like children’s toys across the Sculpture Gallery, Edwards’ brightly coloured sculptures emerge from a process of ‘physical thinking’ with found objects and re-purposed materials.
Prompted by an instinct to invert the logical, Edwards’ sculptures animate and denature the formal language of minimalism: destabilising the rigid formality of the grid, while compounding qualities of hard and soft, sculpture and textile.
The exhibition runs until Saturday 22nd October.
Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre is open from 10am to 5pm (Tuesday to Friday) and from 10am to 4.30pm on Saturday.
