Last Weekend to See ‘Abigail Reynolds: Works in Glass’
Visit Roche Court Sculpture Park this weekend for your last chance to see Abigail Reynolds: Works in Glass in the gallery.
This exhibition brings together a celebration of Reynolds' work from 2018 to the present day. Installed in the gallery at Roche Court, her glass works engage in a shifting dialogue with their surroundings. As the light and shadows change, her work invites us to contemplate our view and sense of place within the landscape.
Working from her studio in Porthmeor, St Ives, Reynolds draws from the Cornish landscape and its rich cultural heritage. She uses found glass, or her own handmade glass using an ancient Cornish technique, to create lenses through which the landscape beyond can be seen in a new light.
Abigail Reynolds studied English Literature at St Catherine’s College, Oxford University, and subsequently a Fine Art MA at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Reynolds has exhibited widely across the UK. Selected solo exhibitions include We beat the bounds, Tate St Ives and Lost Libraries, ROKEBY, London (2017); Double Fold, Rambert, London (2013) and most recently, Flux, Kestle Barton Gallery, Cornwall (2022). Her work is included in the Arts Council Collection, London; the New York Public Library, New York; and the Government Art Collection, London. In 2024, she was commissioned for a suite of works titled Anthronauts by Chatsworth House, which are displayed in the house and garden for their summer exhibition Picturing Childhood: A New Perspective.
Abigail Reynolds: Works in Glass closes Monday 2nd September.
