Alex Hartley creates a major new work for Folkestone Triennial 2017
2 September - 5 November 2017
Balanced on the cliff edge, next to an Iron Age site for the manufacture of querns (millstones) and the remains of a Roman villa, and with the Port of Dover as a backdrop, Alex Hartley’s massive sculpture Wall is constructed from steel fencing and weighted with querns that have fallen out of the cliffs. The sculpture highlights both Folkestone’s history as a border town and geological erosion as a metaphor for the ongoing precariousness of industrial and economic life.
