Lowe Street Series 3
The Romans and Byzantines made beautiful and complex mosaics from glass and marble. From the Renaissance until the early 20th century, furniture makers excelled in the art of Intarsia: the construction of intricate pictures and patterns through marquetry – the decorative inlaying of thin veneers of different kinds of wood. This work by Simon Ogden makes use of linoleum flooring in a way that pays tribute to those historical arts, but with a deliberate anti- preciousness in the technique and use of humble recycled materials, that mark the work as contemporary.
