Kirsty Prior
Walking through the local countryside of the Brecon Beacons
and Black Mountains, and along the shoreline of Gower, Kirsty often finds the
bones of dead, decaying animals. Through her tender, perceptive experiments
with these bones, she explores the contrast of life and death, and the fascinating
process of decay. As a dead sheep returns to its elements, Kirsty looks beyond its
superficial goriness to note the beauty in looking at things closely and in
detail. Her hare sculptures reflect her sadness at seeing road-kill, and
suggest the idea of nature fighting back against humanity’s destruction of it.
