HERE IS WHERE WE MEET

HEDWIG BARRY

Hedwig Barry, Here Is Where We Meet, NIROX Sculpture Park, 22 Jan - 13 March 2022

​

Hedwig Barry’s first solo exhibition is a collection of sculptures and paintings completed during her seven-week residency at the NIROX Sculpture Park. The exhibition centres around five new Crumple sculptures made from massive sheets of crumpled metal welded together and then painted. Barry’s sculptures explore the relationship between destruction and preservation, force and form: they are inspired by crumpled up paper and the invisible “crumple zones” in cars – areas in the bodies of cars which are designed to buckle in an accident, absorbing the force of impact and protecting the bodies inside the vehicle.

​

Alongside the Crumple sculptures Barry presents paintings that derive from experiences in nature, using colour and form to evoke environments that are ecologically unique and increasingly vulnerable.

​

The exhibition extends from the covered gallery space at NIROX to the park grounds. Until 4 February visitors will also be able to see smaller works in Barry’s studio, which will be open for viewing.
