Sculpture Trail
Georgi Gilpin

Did you ever play under the table as a child?

Perhaps throw a sheet or blanket over furniture and develop your very own imaginary world.

New lands were discovered within wonderful landscapes that you traversed. Adventuring past the chair legs to salvage some small toy or object to return victorious and let it play a part in the story. Inanimate objects, bits of things that would have been thrown away have the chance to live again.

My sculpture offers a frozen moment in time.

It represents one of the spaces we forget as we grow older, taller, bigger, less able and willing to play in. Not least the physical space under the table but the space within the brain that allows imagination to romp free and unfettered. A space where dreams and ones imagination have formed shapes and stories hidden from view. All of the objects in the piece were found, salvaged, washed up locally and/or discarded.

It is up to the viewer to interpret the work in any way they wish and interact with the piece as their imagination allows them to.
