Abstract

Between a Rock and a Hard Place is a new group of layered wax paper drawings by artist Sarah Casey. The exhibition title refers in English to a situation where we are caught between opposing forces or impossible choices. This work developed from a research fellowship at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK which explored ways to give form to the liminal in between space between two sides of a sheet of paper to articulate relationships between positive and negative, absent and present, sculpture and drawing. This formal enquiry is part of a wider project exploring how processes of drawing might be able to articulate the impossible fragile balance of loss and appearance found glacial archaeology which is rare and valuable human heritage- hundreds or thousands of years old – now emerging at the cost of lost ice and changing landscapes. For AiS, translucent paper structures are suspended celling to floor between the dark metallic walls of the gallery. Illuminated only by daylight, the work changes over the course of the day. Forms subtly appear and fades from view as we move around the gallery, shifting between the visible and invisible. This project has been supported by a South of Scotland Visual Artist and Craft Maker Award, funded by Creative Scotland, Live Borders and Dumfries & Galloway Council.
