Bill Woodrow - The LedgeCommissioned by Creative Folkestone
This crystalline modernist architectural composition, echoing the white cliffs beyond, supports figures of an Inuit and a seal, and sits on a black puddle shape. Sited by the shore, the strong horizontals suggest the rising water level resulting from the disappearing polar ice caps, an iceberg melting into a pool of oil.

Meticulously collecting the air he exhaled within a 24-hour period via a respiratory mask, Rickard transfers it into large silver foil balloons that accumulate into a large mass, evincing the space we consume and the fresh air that each of us needs for daily survival. The towering pile of balloons compels us to recognise our own |
