brass art
Brass Art is the name for the collaborative activites of three women artists whose practice has been been described as 'beginning in the contemporary urban experience'.
Teabag were commissioned to create 3D models for a new work entitled Moments of Death and Revival. Firstly, Brass Art underwent full body scans in a three-dimensional booth to create a polygonal mesh that was then later manipulated by Teabag with the addition of fantastical, imaginary creatures of an almost pagan potency and primeval instinct. The final series of statuettes are placed together on a long plinth and lit by a moving light source. The result is a contemporary danse macabre as shadows cast by the statuettes flutter and dance in an endless procession around the gallery walls.
Brass Art-Skyscraping is exhibiting at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park from 15th March - 22 June 2008
