Wendy Ramshaw, Rooms of Dreams Exhibition- Somerset House

Partaking in a Sculpture and Installation lecture course this semester, lead me go to see the Wendy Ramshaw exhibition in Somerset House. Not only announced and hugely known for her contemporary Jewellery designs but her dramatically large scaled Public Art. Having looked and researched much into Public Art and its diverse forms and elements it depicts, this exhibition benefitted in teaching me more behind this modern and up-leading designer. I achieved to learn that Wendy Ramshaw, strongly pushes the boundaries and judging from her well experimented pieces, that range from diverse materials and textures such as glass, stone, plastic and paper, they proved highly successful. Very admirable for using the best of every type of material around her, almost like a recycling process involving art. "Rooms of Dreams' takes Wendy's work and objectives to a completely new level. Adding a new and futuristic dimension to Contemporary Art. Transforming her wonderful array of jewellery designs into, story telling characters connecting with nothing other then our magical imaginations.. Wendy's exhibition proved signs of her inspiration from Lewis Carrol's famous 'Alice's adventures in Wonderland', and beautifully created they were, with a clear and definite connection to the wonderful story's and poems Lewis Carrol wrote. I found this experience, very interesting and somewhat 'out of the ordinary' for me, as this kind of art would not usually not appeal to me, however in this case i am glad i took the chance in finding out more about Wendy Ramshaw and her original creations.
