Barbecue - Rebecca Manson
Rebecca Manson, Barbecue (2024)
Comprised of over 50,000 individually hand-crafted pieces of ceramic, this immersive installation invites the viewer to follow a path and discover the curious contents of its five towering mounds of fallen leaves.
In this installation, Manson not only continues to challenge the materiality of ceramics but also reveals her talent as a painter. From mound to mound, the colour palette subtly changes from jade-like green blues and rich merlot reds to browns, yellows and oranges. This subtle variation of hues not only translates the changing light throughout the day but provides a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life.
The viewer’s scavenger hunt will reveal moments of intense natural beauty, as well as evidence of human detritus. The artist’s purposeful blending of nature with man-made elements evokes the passage of time and a sense of longing, but also much needed playfulness and even possible danger.
Originally created for the ellipse, the first-floor oval gallery of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Barbecue has been reinstalled here—piece by piece—onto a holding wall built to the same specifications as the one at Forth Worth, to ensure none of its original intention is lost.
Also for the viewer to discover in this installation are realistic hand-blown glass pieces by another artist, Jessica Tsai.
