Every Tuesday the Whitworth Gallery hosts an artist talk. This week was
Anya Gallacio, who is specifically known for creating installations and
sculptures from organic matter. She uses material as a starting point to
explore time, space and landscape. One of her pieces ‘Where is Where
it’s at’ was inspired by San Diego- where she was living at the time.
Gallicio collected buckets of pigments and dirt from iconic places that
held a significance to her, and shipped them back to a gallery space in
London. She then mapped out sunlight that hit the space with tape and
filled the positive shapes with dirt. This created interesting landscape
shots of a space which you wouldn't usually examine.
