ART & EXHIBITIONS LIST
STEELING THE SHOW
Glasgow Print Studio, Glasgow
It is her iirst solo exhibition, but Glasgow sculptor Tracy McKenna has already made great developments in her work. At last year's Glasgow Garden Festival she installed a beautilully tensile creature, sprung with equal measures oi danger and elegance. Here, she moves indoors to create an altogether quieter group oi sculptures.
With an oriental perspective, everthing is laid low, risking impracticality with regard to domestic or museum display and even dismissal irom the viewer. However, that risk is cleverly taken, calculated to displace sculpture out oi its expected role and position it to suit her own ideas, a lreedom which makes McKenna's work something natural however elusive its original inspiration might be.
That inspiration is gently hinted at in each piece. ‘Sound’, one at the very iia pieces, throws out a gentle puii oi wire wool irom a makeshiit steel cornei. Conveyor, a long, undulating path oi steel, makes the crossing in McKenna's assembly, irom being mechanical to becoming a miniature landscape complete with stream and shining iish. It's impossible to tell whether the artist wished to attribute such a juxtaposition, but it is that ambiguity within a deiinition which makes McKenna‘s sculpture so appealing. They allow that which cannot be seen to be seen and more strangely, that which cannot be heard to be heard. (Alice Bain)
