Exhibition
Katy Mason 'SPILL' | Solo Exhibition
Organised by Sarabande Foundation
Inter-disciplinary sculptor and maker Katy Mason presents her solo exhibition at Sarabande High Road, 'SPILL'.
About this event
This exhibition explores the stress, overwhelm, and emotional detonation that come when intuition is replaced with material trends, certificates and penalty fare charges.
By meticulously arranging materials that are often posed as 'waste', SPILL balances these overwhelmingly distracting elements with delicacy, validation, and elevation. Mason's playful and expressive works portray the stories of personalities, daily annoyances, rituals and overlooked tasks that define our everyday lives.
From the mundane snapping of glasses to the deeper symbolism behind discarded items, this body of work explores both our inner psyches and the impact of our actions on the external world.
About Sarabande Foundation
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Sarabande operates from a listed Stable Block conversion in Haggerston, where 15 studios form a creative community with designers and artists from multiple disciplines. Immersed in the hub of East London’s rich creative spirit, Sarabande exudes all that encompasses the creative sphere. The building is home to a plethora of artisans reflecting the multifarious span of Lee’s talent and the variety of craftspeople he worked with his own collections. Amongst others, our tactile artists include sculptors, fashion designers, jewellers, textile designers, painters, performance artists, silversmiths, costume designers, ceramicists, and dancers. Alongside these, Sarabande also houses filmmakers, animators, photographers, digital designers, and visual artists.
