This piece is called Matter into Light: the Discovery of Fire (2011). It's made of hand-treated cobalt-plated bronze, concrete, stainless steel, cement board, ceramic and bioethanol liquid. This is one of a series of burning sculptures which thanks to new technology, can burn with real fire inside the museum without a flue.
This is just amazing keep it up Jilly! I wonder if each bone is carved individually.......,?
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was there a few days ago and saw the exhibition. Rather bizar those skeletons and the fire. I preferred the fishes in the aquarium more...
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit wierd, but at the same time interesting!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that to think. I looks like it is rather late for that couple. I hope they took advantage of their time together while they were alive.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I wouldn't like this exhibition... Hopefully there will be something else when I'm there...
ReplyDeleteOtherwise the aquarium and the new turles must be sufficient!

I know it is the law of silence, but this really looks like Monaco by night.
