Riky Swallow: Essays on Australian artists at the turn of the century at the end of the world
Ricky Swallow’s intensive labours honour some private incidental moments, to which end all the modelling, building, and carving can seem simply autobiographical. A telescope – handcrafted and built to scale in moulded PVC plastic – is an exact replica of one from his childhood. Using cardboard, PVC, timber, or bronze, Swallow has also built other “commemorative models” (as he has described them): a replica of his BMX bike, his radio cassette player, the family’s metal detector, a favourite pair of shoes, Caroma stools from the rumpus room.
Ricky Swallow talks about his exhibition in London
Ricky Swallow’s second solo exhibition at Modern Art, London, (2011) features a new body of cast bronze objects created from archery targets the artist found in Los Angeles, where he lives. Presented on plinths and installed on the wall, these works synthesize various references from art history, from British ceramics to California modernism. Here, Swallow discusses his approach to creating the show and his new processes in the studio.
