New CMR Exhibition : Four miles by Donna Mitchell

 chamber
Donna Mitchell 

The three interior assemblages conveyed a duality of bound weight. The blue chamber piece has an element of play - it can also be picked up. a bound form like an anchorage that you feel inclined to sit upon. A calm benign quality that conveys a hidden sense. 


Tor
   Dynamic in the way it was not only leaning - but because of the materials used Tor made an  uneasey experience as you walked around the structure it seemed as if it was ready to topple at any given time. Formed like a cocoon that was kept well wrapped up or was it wanting release? Propped up like an awakening of a bodymass within...there was an intriguing living vitality within the piece.

 leverage
    Waste had great textures and the enveloped state captured the landslides that can occur in quarries. The use of cement being a familiar personal ingredient to Donna whose family runs a local cement works and the compact nature of the piece was attractive and attached as it was to a wheel barrow added a dose of comedic draped humility...for it could never be wheeled away. The tumble of pillows folds and polystyrene overflowed creating an enriched residue of rock formation.
