Cecilia Moore Balancing a Cityscape, 2022 Copper, bronze, brass, nickel-silver. Raised, constructed and patinated. 23 x 22 x 22cm
Huge congratulations to Cecilia Moore. This fantastic piece ‘Balancing a Cityscape’ is joining the Ulster Museum Collection. Thank you to curator Kim Mawhinney for selecting Cecilia's work.
Talking about this piece Cecilia said: "As a child I visited Brighton Pavilion, it was the most amazing place I had ever seen, its Indian architecture mixed in with my mothers stories and artefacts of her life in India were full of colour and shapes that stayed with me and brought me to the colours and forms of this piece."
Each piece in the sculpture is made with between 4 to 7 metal parts that have been dismantled, adapted and soldered together. Parts include pepper pots, a lightbulb socket, a saxophone mouthpiece cap, parts of a cup, various lids, old coins and old plumbing bits. This piece is one of three new works the artist made for Collect 2023.
