Glasgow-based artist Mick Peter will create a cement wall relief in the Steading Gallery, with freestanding modular cement forms strewn with enlarged ‘popcorn’ kernels.
The modularity of this work is related to the importance of the interplay between simple geometric shapes in historical concrete public sculpture. The unpredictability of popcorn, meanwhile, represents both the ‘accidental’ sculptural nature of the eventual popped form and also some of the processes used in the modular components, namely the use of cast expanding polyurethane (a similarly unruly material). This surprising mixture of parts combines some of the forlorn nature of civic spaces of the past with some of the unruliness of the wild woodland and the natural environment at Jupiter Artland.
