Description
Royal Festival Hall, Level 2 Green Side
Paradise in Plasticine is a sculpted art installation, inspired by nature’s variety, and framed in the guise of a mystical secret garden from the dreamscape of childhood. It is the work of a complete cross-section of British society, from children who have never handled the material, through war veterans who remember Plasticine when it was still the latest thing, to professional model-makers who spend little time with anything else.
Ever since William Harbutt, a teacher, invented Plasticine in the late-19th century, it has been endlessly used to model curious creatures and spurious structures. The designers of Paradise in Plasticine have declared that it is high time the full expressive breadth of this modelling medium was revealed.
Paradise in Plasticine received a Special Letter (Award), Urban Garden, RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2009
