Laura Ford at Ditchling Museum of Art+Craft

As part of our Autumn exhibition New Truth to Materials: Wood, Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft have teamed up with House Biennial to show the striking sculptures of artist Laura Ford. Ford is the Festival’s Invited Artist and will be displaying her works Espaliered Girl (2007) in our introductory gallery. The sculpture features wood as its subject matter and questions the viewer’s response to the material and the way in which the artist has represented it. The piece is a classic example of the artist’s work, blending fantasy with a touch of both menace and tenderness. Her work is held in many public collections including Tate, V&A, Museum of Modern Art and Arts Council of Great Britain. Admission to this section of the gallery is free for this exhibition.
