| This is a drawing I made to see how I could present my work in a gallery environment. |
I want to show my three skeleton sculptures and three bone foraging drawings, so that they can support each other. In preparation for the show, I tried to find three plinths to which I could place my sculptures; this proved quite difficult so I found a large round piece of wood which can act as a display table. I simply framed my drawings in plain glass because I didn't want to detract from the image. I chose for my gallery space to be in the sculpture set-up space because I did not want my work to be in a cubicle which would make viewers less obliged to wander round the table. In conjunction to this, the other artists showing in this room will be film pieces (e.g. the room will be as dark as possible) so I can use spotlights to highlight my work. Also for this occasion I have made 45 business cards which hold my Blog address and email, to make my work more accessible for the visitors.

Artist's Statement

| View of my work during the exhibition |
"I wanted to transport my family's quarry to the gallery because it has been such an influence to my work without consciously knowing it. The material of the work I have shown is all from Northfield quarry; gathered, collected and compiled.
I chose the names of my sculptural pieces on Latin translations and creatures that could be in their family tree. When I was assembling them, I found it quite grotesque that a baby rabbit skull looks aesthetically pleasing when attached to an adult rabbit skull. Mother and child can be reunited through exhibitionism. It is my tribute that all things must come to an end." - Antonia Elizabeth Scott 2012
