February 22nd - April 21st

On display in Gallery 3 is an exhibition of new work by Alun Hemming. The sculptures combine ideas built up over a number of years taking inspiration from diverse fields, such as ancient sites in Brittany, to scientific models. These are manifested in small works made up of symbolic miniature objects such as cities, houses and mountains.

"For as long as I can remember, scale especially relative scale has been an integral core of my work. As a teenager at school, I can remember vividly an occasion when our physics teacher said to the class “if you walk towards a wall and halve your step each time, you will never reach the wall”. That sowed a seed in my mind - the wonder of infinite scale - with no end to how small matter could be. The notion of infinite space, the tiniest molecules making up physical matter and time having no beginning and no end."
