Legs
cast iron, position & dimensions variable, signed numbered edition of 50.
“People are attracted to Lucy Pullen’s Legs. There are 50 pairs of tiny cast iron women’s legs on the carpet at Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery. Her work has a playfulness and directness that opens it up to any viewer. It can be critically linked to conceptualism, but it is not necessary to know a secret art language to understand or enjoy it.” writes Alyssa Bernard, “Most of Pullen’s art is rooted in being human and has a simplicity that resonates. She is true to conceptual art ‘s process, recording her materials and the numbers of them.” (Chronicle Herald, Halifax: 1997) Modular figurative sculptures can be repositioned, assuming many gestures, depending your mood or state of mind.
