New bronze sculptures, with rich burnt honey to blacked speckled moss surfaces, works on paper and paintings speak to real and ephemeral inspirations. Lyons’ work for this show considers the body while in movement and our thought processes – informed by Paul Ricoeur’s theories on memory and forgetting. By following the artist’s line we are encouraged to draw parallels with the twists, flexes and tensions of the human form and, metaphorically, our minds.
