Maria Nepomuceno: Tempo para Respirar

Maria Nepomuceno's exuberant installation will fill this spectacular double-height space in the second artist commission for the Sunley Gallery. Inspired by traditional South American craft techniques, Nepomuceno weaves straw, strings and piles beads, and sews brightly-coloured ropes into draping coils and flower-like forms. These materials form a fantastical landscape, also populated by playful ceramic shapes, shiny over-sized beads and found objects.
