Exhibition: Atavist : Memory from Memory

Fri 22 Apr 2016 to Sat 14 May 2016

Preview:
Fri 22 Apr 2016, 7:00pm

Paul Devon Young

(Atavist; the reappearance in an individual of characteristics of some remote ancestor that have been absent in intervening generations. An atavist is an individual embodying such a reversion.)

 

‘These bodies of work come through me like a mystic journey’

The work is elemental and the raw materials define the work; clay, wood, metal - air, water, fire and earth.

 

During 2015 as Paul worked on a series of clay sculptures called Elemental Shrines, filmmaker, Ian Atherton made a documentary ‘Paul Devon Young - Elemental’ which brilliantly gives an insight into Paul’s life and work. www.pauldevonyoung.com.
