Gabby O’Connor: what lies beneath – the return

By Alice | Published: July 27, 2011

A friend curated this installation of work by the New Zealand artist Gabby O’Connor at the North Wall Arts Centre here in Oxford. The installation is exploring what lies beneath the tip of an iceberg. The pieces are made of triangles of dyed and lacquered tissue paper, you can read more about it here on Gabby O’Connor’s site. The pictures don’t really do it justice as in person these icebergs do feel mammoth as you look up at them, it’s a really interesting piece of work, made me think. Well worth checking out if you are in the area, it is on until 20 August, there are more details here on the North Wall Arts Centre site.

    Thanks for sharing this Alice… I have been so out of touch with happenings at the North Wall Arts Centre recently – which is very bad of me as I live literally five minutes away. This one looks like a must though. Infact, I will go along and see it after I finish work tomorrow afternoon :)
