Margaret Mellis: Constructions
27th February 2008 - 27th March 2008
Margaret Mellis, Marine City, 1993
This exhibition, her third at Austin Desmond, shows what is perhaps the most significant body of work Margaret Mellis has produced in her long and productive career; the driftwood constructions. Mined from the beaches off the Suffolk coast where she has lived and worked for over 60 years, the objects and fragments thrown up by the sea which found their way into Margaret’s studio, embody the central theme of her life’s work. Started in 1980 these constructions became the focus of Margaret’s attention.
