Johan Gelper calls his sculptures drawings in space. It is a fitting description. At Ricou Gallery he shows the frame of a chair that transforms into looping fibreglass tubes, clamped to heavy stones. Elsewhere, a large rake is held upright by a cable that runs on as an extension. A constellation of yellow plastic tubes covered in cable ties bears similarities to a sea urchin. A single leaf hangs at the centre of a steel cable oval. Everything is in balance. Everything is asking a question about balance.

Three years ago clay arrived. From that exact moment it felt as natural as breathing. Giorgia Piu — Rose de Nour — is a ceramicist based in Rome with strong Mediterranean roots, a background in painting and drawing, and an approach to clay that is completely her own: contemplative, instinctive, and deeply rooted in the earth. She and the matter. She and I.
