Pop Goes the Weasel!

'Pop goes the Weasel' presents new and recent work by Ann Carrington who uses sculpture to give new meaning to the every day. For Carrington, all objects are saturated with cultural meaning, which, as an artist she seeks to explore, unravel and investigate - breathing extraordinary new life into ordinary items like coins, buttons, knives and forks and barbed wire.

This exhibition reveals a witty repurposing of everyday items which are transformed through often surprising and unlikely marriages of materials and method. The exhibition includes two grandiose galleons woven from strings of pearls cruising on a tangled sea of wedding tiaras, chokers and earrings; magical transformations of knives forks and spoons into arrangements of flowers; lace curtains 'sewn' from collections of horse brasses and riotous scribbled coils of thorny barbed wire which have been teased and tamed to produce magnificent rose blossoms.
