Responses to the Nature Table
A two day master class with Dail Behennah
11th and 12th June 2016 - 10.30-4pm
Oriel Myrddin Gallery are delighted to be able to offer a very special two day workshop with internationally renowned artist and maker, Dail Behennah.
Acclaimed originally as a basket maker, Dail Behennah’s exhibition Fieldwork at Oriel Myrddin Gallery (28 May – 30 July 2016) shows the work for which she is probably now best known – meticulously constructed sculptures of willow and natural objects. It also shows a new body of work, inspired by walks along the North Pembrokeshire coast; homage to the much-loved home to which she recently bid farewell.
New work places and arranges beautifully crafted and constructed artefacts alongside found objects in an exploration of the subtle relationships and the poetic and emotional connections she invests in her work through meticulous observation and contemplation. To make the work she uses a range of techniques and processes – enamelling, soldering, patinating, folding, plaiting and drilling using a variety materials such as wood, paper, metal, nylon monofilament and found objects.
