Abigail Fallis
1968
Abigail Fallis studied silversmithing and metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts, London. Working with a variety of media – perhaps the strangest being fish skeleton sculptures, coated in silver and bronze – the artist combines the unusual beauty of her work with a subtle comment on man’s meddling with nature. She has shown consistently since graduating and has been featured on C4’s The Big Breakfast and BBC2’s New Brit, in which her sculpture Cock Eyed Jack – a pair of framed union jack pants – provided a sardonic comment on the blatant spin doctoring of Cool Britannia.
Fallis has exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy of Arts, London and the Reykjavik Museum.
Despite the humour in Abigail’s creations – which include the wittily entitled In Cod We Trust and Only Here for the Halibut - Fallis has serious concerns about 21st century over-consumption, and even has an active relationship with Greenpeace.
Fallis' DNA DL90, a sculpture made from supermarket shopping trolleys, is on show at Newcastle upon Tyne's Forth Square until 2014. The artist comments, 'shopping trolleys are everywhere, and have become a real symbol of modern society and today's consumer culture'. Her sculpture also alludes to scientific investigations into the designer baby, and the lengths society is prepared to go to ensure a perfect specimen.
