Mel Kendrick
Kendrick’s work focuses on materiality, space, process and geometry. This sculpture is made from pigmented concrete, cast from a single hand-cut polystyrene block. Its palette was inspired by the striated marble interior of the Cathedral in Siena. The upper half is a mirror of the void of the lower half and in this way has a unified whole, activating both the inner and outer space. The curved folded forms enveloping and incising the square block both enclose and reveal space simultaneously.
