Natalie Guy

Inspired by Paul’s Stations in the Star of the Sea Chapel, Natalie has now produced six freestanding sculptures referencing six specific stations. Titled: Judging, Falling, Carrying. Soothing, Mourning and Returning. The freestanding metal sculptures echo the bright opacity of the stations and define shape and space while incorporating negative (white) space and translucency. Translating Paul's paintings to sculptural form “Guy considers the meditated or framed view, through which she approaches the compositional definitions in the Stations. She chimes with Paul’s peculiar colour symbolism, creating cut-out shapes to reference the figures. Literal windows in Guy’s sculptural pieces echo Paul’s mediated view: the hinged doors and windows in the poem, and the formal framings of the Stations.
