The series of sculptures, drawings and prints on show in the North Transept at Winchester are the result of more than a decade of work, much of which was directly inspired by the art, architecture and history of the cathedral.
Leaves and quincunx (the geometric pattern of four-sided shapes with a solitary figure in their centre) feature heavily in the experimental work within the exhibition. Pointing towards a relationship with the building and the artefacts of Winchester Cathedral, these works, created through processes of manipulating the sculpture during the wax stage of the bronze casting process – a territory Edwards has made uniquely his own – speak to the notion of light as matter, entering and exiting the physical presence of the figure as a volume. They evoke the extraordinary windows of the gothic cathedral, a sense of ephemerality and a kind of visual translucency of the present, the past and the forthcoming.
The tour will last approx. 1 hour. Places are limited and must be booked in advance. Tickets are £12 and all the money goes towards the upkeep of the cathedral. Bring a copy of your ticket either printed or digital to the cathedral welcome desk on the day.
