Briony Marshall / Science&Art /Pangolin sculpture

A beautiful frosty night with a waxing cresent moon above the clear run down the M3 to Guildford university for Briony's lecture c/o Surrrey Sculptors Soc.
Her elegant ideas and sculptures stem from the juncture between art and science. A pleasure to listen to the simple clear-thinking and focused experiences of residencies at the Mariani foundry at Pietrasantas, and Pangolin London.

I was inspired by the mention of an organic creative proccess of pouring hot wax into warm water then manipulating with oiled hands; and the Morphic resonance theory of Rupert Sheldrake.

I'm about to embark on mould-making in Jesmonite, but will investigate bio-resins developed by Canonbury too.
