Contemporary Mosaic exhibition explores 3D Printing
Joe Moss and Jane Davies have collaborated to create an exhibition linking mosaic work with 3-D printing. They model and unite spaces of memory with ancient art forms – the small marble tesserae in the Fallen Angel are at least 50 million years old, and they stand beside work created from a 3-D printer Joe and Jane have used to model a recycle-able heart.
The Fallen Angel has had a bad press – called the devil by many. When all he wanted was a sense of order? This exhibition at the no format Gallery in Deptford brings together framing grid shapes to hold up miniature and larger sculptures, recently printed, as well as art works and photographs.
The artists are seeking patterns of attachment and visual language, a capacity to work together for the common good, bringing craft and art traditions together - in their own words where “various existences and mediums are valued beyond their ability to harvest a price in units”.
