Jon Eiseman & Anne Conron

Wednesday 19 August 2009 to Saturday 12 September 2009
Jon Eiseman’s sculpture extends beyond the physical, encompassing notions of time, spirituality and emotion. His figurative sculpture, cast in bronze, has a whimsical and poetic quality. Drawn from the inner landscape of the unconscious, Eiseman’s work carries a loose dream-like quality, creating an intriguing open-ended sense of narrative.
For the last three years Eiseman has collaborated with Anne Conron on a series of photographs which reflect the vision of his sculptural work. Through these images, the artists take the viewer on a journey into Eiseman’s world – where journeys start and never end, and birdmen inhabit a surreal landscape occupying a borderland between the natural world and the human mind, between logic and dreams. The photographs and video installation extend the narrative of the journey into another realm, where there is an atmosphere of stillness and calm, a reverence for nature and a sense of mystery.
