Red Wire - Jayne Lawless

Jayne Lawless

I produce work that responds to their location and space and do not approach my projects with any predefined ideas. Instead, I prefer to allow the context to dictate what form the eventual piece will take. My work changed a lot in my time away from the UK and my concerns now are more about form, space, construction and architecture. Most recently I have made sculptures and installations from found wood, bricks and red ribbon, in the past I have used a wide selection of material including nylon tights, resin, concrete and balloons.

Installation responding to my residency at The New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich, UK. Tunnel was a way preparing the audience for the show. Inside the Tunnel was mirrors with lights that came on and off as people walked through, as the lights were at their brightest the sound of applause was also heard. So the viewer saw themselves in the mirrors to the sound of applause.
