Sophie Coryndon, Tapestry Triptych, UK, 2017
About the Item
Tapestry Triptych, 2017, a large-scale wall hanging is constructed of three panels of deeply faceted overhanging layers of plaster honeycomb, gilded and highly patinated. The substantial overlapping layers of the work gently hang giving the work the feeling of fragments of luxurious ornate textiles. At once colossal and Fine, Tapestry Triptych beautifully preserves the fragility of its source much in the tradition of observation hives.
Coryndon’s work is inspired by elements of the natural world and rooted in historical aesthetics ranging from Renaissance tapestry to the influential Bloomsberry group. Croydon works and lives in the same area as the Bloomsbury Group at South Downs National Park, thus continuing the spirit of the quiet revolution against tradition in favour of natural sustainability. Imaginative and innovative, Coryndon has forged a successful career of combining traditional Craft skills and specialist finishing techniques in a Fine art realm. Often material and process driven, employing multiple disciplines such as bronze casting, painting, embroidery and sculpture, her work has found a large audience with collectors and designers internationally. Coryndon, who says that natural forms are always at the heart of her work, became interested in bees after reading about the rising detriment facing the insects around the world today. In an effort to capture abandoned “ghost ship hives” Corydon is using lost wax casting, an ancient and seldom used technique.
Coryndon spent her formative years working alongside her father at the legendary Coryndon Cabinet Makers. Like the Omega artists who came out of the Bloomsberry group and also rebelled against the plainness of mass produced consumer goods, Coryndon took the traditional applications of her royal cabinetmaker father and expanded them through experimental processes that push the possibilities between decorative and fine art.
