Overview
We are pleased to announce the exhibition Material Transformations.
Material Transformations will feature new work from a selection of Cube and guest artists who employ inventive methods of transforming their chosen materials into intriguing and captivating artworks.
Artists include Tony Blackmore, Elaine Chan-Perryman, Sara Dodd, Michelle McKinney, Daniel Mirchev, Will Storey and Sung Rim Park.
-
Will Storey creates his artwork from high quality sustainable veneers, card and wood, sculpted by hand & laser and transformed into a mesmerising relief work. His works are a three-dimensional tapestry that captivate the senses, inviting the viewer to explore the artwork from different angles, while also appreciating the shadows which are cast onto negative space.

Sung Rim Park will be showing her wall-based artworks crafted from Hanji fibers and cotton thread. Embracing the inherent characteristics of the fibres, she employs a traditional knotting technique, dedicating months to craft highly original, tactile artworks that exude a sense of space and light.

Daniel Mirchev's bold wood carvings are created from birch plywood that he personally hand crafts in his studio in Sofia, Bulgaria. Daniel employs traditional methods using chisels for the removal of excess wood and fine sands to create the extremely elegant and tactile wall pieces hidden within.

Tony Blackmore creates mathematically-inspired folded reliefs with a single sheet of drafting film; a film traditionally used for architectural drawings. With regimented precision and accuracy, his process has evolved whereby he hand-folds and stitches together layers of drafting film to create compositions with varying transparency.

Michelle McKinney creates elegantly simple artworks in ultra-fine woven metal. Every element of her work is hand cut, formed and coloured using only heat. The images of fragility and ephemerality of nature that she creates contrasts with the strength and permanence of the stainless steel, copper and brass from which they are created.

Sara Dodd uses porcelain in its liquid form, slip, together with a subtle range of colours. She reimagines this traditional material into compositions of wafer-thin strata of beauty, delicacy, and strength. These are encased in a beautiful bespoke walnut frame.
