Abigail Fallis’s sculpture Quo Vadis is currently part of the exhibition Beauty and the Beast set in the grounds of the National Trust’s Stourhead. The concept of the exhibition is to juxtapose alongside the beauty of the grounds the beast of contemporary art, and see how they interact. Fallis’s new work here is reminiscent of her recent solo show at Trolley Gallery, where she produced a smaller sized series of Papier-mache hands for her installation The Fast Supper, based on Da Vinci’s famous Last Supper. Fallis is currently exhibiting in Newcastle and Paris and will be part of Trolley’s stand at The Zoo Art Fair this October.
