For the Autumn 2024 exhibition Alice Andrea Ewing has created a bronze collection of autumnal foraged hedgerow produce. The works are solid bronze ‘direct casts’ of produce which have been foraged and found in areas around Suffolk and beyond - collected on hikes and lifted out of meadows, wild garden patches and woodland.
Alice’s new ‘Foraged Hedgerow’ collection is inspired by the Green Man, brings together a mixture of woodland and wintery seeds and foraged specimens, including rose-hips, acorns, beech nuts, mushrooms and crab apples amongst others.
We are also introducing new bronze works by Alice playing with light and function.
Produced through an adaptation of the Italian or Renaissance Lost Wax casting process, the resulting bronze works are unique translations of the original organic specimens, capturing every detail and curiosity of form.
Please sign up to our newsletter for full details of the work available.
Our private view is on Friday 8th November from 5-7pm. Chef Nichola Hordern will be creating a special seasonal drink for the event. Please RSVP to susanna@themerchantstable.co.uk.
The Foraged Hedgerow Collection will then be available online from 7pm on Friday 8th November.
Our gallery showroom will be open to the public on Saturday 9th November, 11am - 4pm.
Founder-sculptor Alice Andrea Ewing grew up and lives in the Suffolk countryside. Alice started working with bronze in 2013 after studying History of Art at Pembroke College, Cambridge University.
All works are seasonal, with small collections produced each year.
