Contamination of Space

Sculptures of Phyllida Barlow

"We live on ruins of the past with broken, abandoned spaces, torso sculptures without arms and feet around us  - we construct and deconstruct all the time.

With aggression I brutally invade, contaminate and fill these spaces with cheap, poor but true materials using my broken memory."
