“...these works are my intrusions forgiven by nature (or stones)”
At a billion years old, Torridon Sandstone is not a material often used in the production of sculpture. Being in the region of a billion years old it is extremely hard, and being sedimentary it has a habit of shearing off in layers. All of which adds up to a material that is used for many things, but rarely sculpture.
This exhibition by Keith Ackerman is an opportunity to take a closer look at this type of rock in a way that only sculpture allows us to, examining the structure through the different treatments of the surface. As the sculptor Noguchi suggests, nature cannot be improved on and we must hope that the earth forgives us our intrusions.
