About the exhibiton
Wind Eyes draws on the Old Norse word for “window” - vindauga, or “wind eye” - a term that captures both looking and feeling. Inspired in part by Cole Swensen’s prose poem The Glass Age, Olivia Bax’s new collection of works made for East Gallery, explores how openings, screens and thresholds shape our experience of space.
Bax is a sculptor who brings things together, creating ensembles of found and made objects held together by metal armatures and paper pulp. In this exhibition she presents large-scale hinged screens made from perforated steel, alongside forms that reference canopies, grilles and blind holders. Free standing sculptures and wall works are framed and obscured by the screens as Bax plays with shifting scales, interior and exterior, our sense of familiarity and altered viewpoints.
