The monumental wire and bronze sculptures of artist Sophie Ryder will be exhibited in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close from February 12th.
The sculpture display is part of a city-wide exhibition of Ryder’s work led by Salisbury Cathedral. Sarum College is among the participating venues, which includes Salisbury Museum and The Young Gallery.
Through her wire sculptures and bronze Minotaur and Lady-Hare series, Sophie investigates relationships. A blend of human and animal forms lend otherness to the subjects and the range of emotions they express.
