Time Crunch

It isn’t always easy to keep up with the fast pace of modern society. This fairy must have somehow managed to wriggle his way through the clockworks, but now he’s trapped, and is feeling the pressure.

Sculpted in polymer clay over a wire armature.

Polymer clay sculptures by Gavy Swan

Artist’s Statement: Gavy Swan creates polymer clay sculptures with a playful sense of fairy-tale humour. Fantastical creatures and surrealist science feature prominently in her work, which explores issues of containment. “Our typical response to anything “other” is to contain it and to study it outside of its natural habitat. We do this in science with test tubes and particle colliders, and we do it in art with glass cases and ‘do not touch’ signs,” says Gavy. “I want to raise questions about whether containment and classification are the best way to examine the world around us. I think they are…but there are questions of ethics and methods that we need to explore.”
