This Stuff Matters are four established women sculptors, Alexandra Harley, Gillian Brent, Sheila Vollmer and Jill Gibson. They first met as a group in 2019, participating in an experimental mixed group show Testing 123..... Unit 3, East London, curated by John Bunker.
Each artist plays confidently with form, material, colour, space and scale yet each artist’s work is distinct in the use of abstraction and construction. However, there is a definite sense of a common visual language, emerging from a female perspective. Discarding interpretive text and simply by being together in a shared space, the artists’ works establish a physical and visual dialogue, reflecting collective experience.
