Making It!
Three pieces of work forming a central focus to the exhibition. The gold male figure was modelled by Anoushka Giltsoff who, until recently, was part of the small team responsible for the development and realisation of Rag Doll Productions' Teletubbies' costumes. The gold figure was a final year project and was modelled in clay from life. In the centre is a faithful copy of a medieval triptych in the National Gallery made by Penny Stapleton. Penny followed the medieval process as carefully as possible, making her own gesso, egg tempera paints and learning techniques of gilding and wood turning as integral elements of the project. The copy of a fresco fragment from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling was carried out by Melinda Gibbons who now successfully works as a freelance painting specialist for the interior decoration industry.
