Fibre Sculptures by Sarah Hornibrooke, inspired by cave paintings.
The hustle and bustle was quietly eyed by Sarah's
wire and harakeke paper beasts, which came from the darkness into the
light when Sarah was inspired to create much smaller, 3D versions of
the 10,000-year-old, metre-long prehistoric creatures drawn on a cave
roof in Lascaux, France.
"They (the cave dwellers) got the foreshortening
to a fine art and the heads are always small because the animals are
running away", said Sarah, whose creatures exude a sense of grace
and austerity. |
The idea for this new display of their talents was
hatched a year ago - "which did not hinder us from getting everything
done last minute", Hennie quipped from the background.
So, on Monday night, under a hesitant moon, and equipped
with stepladder, hammer and nails, the five friends busily navigated
around each other in the gallery, hanging and rehanging frames.
