Mika Aoki.

The best way to describe Japanese artist Mika Aoki’s physical body and shapes of her sculptures are like bacterial specimens going through an epidemic outbreak. At the same time, evolving and incorporating itself on cars, mutated bottles, syringes, and laboratory test tubes. In the end, her sculptures are beautiful, unusually universally perceived, and executed in abstract forms. (by okmarzo)

Catherine Bertola Unseen by all but me alone (2009)

This exhibition reveals a constant theme within Bertola’s work by drawing on the historic role of women and craft production. Bertola celebrates the skill and beauty prevalent to historical genres of craft and the decorative arts, and draws upon a legacy of collective struggle of women; and the presence of personal triumph and liberation that is often overlooked by history.

Unseen by all but me alone consists of a series of delicate handmade golden cobwebs that infiltrate the nooks and crannies of the bare and empty gallery space. With its roots in the origins of female labour the title is taken from a song, sung by Habetrot (a mythological figure in Anglo-Celtic folklore associated with spinning and healing and symbolised by the spinning wheel, wool, and the spiders web) in the story of Habetrot and the Scantlie Mab, a pagan tale that uses spinning as a metaphor and measure for a woman’s virtue. Bertola’s delicately spun webs reclaim space from the absence of human activity, and through their material value announce both a relationship with organic creation associated with neglect and the passing of time, and a
celebration of luxury and silent splendour.
