Ian PENNA
A photo of Ian Penna was featured in the Cornishman (11 Aug 2011) together with his Immeasurable Mass sculpture, an impressive part of the 'Uncharted Landscapes' exhibition at the Mariner's Gallery, St Ives (until Sept 3).
Penna's large works are a 'mine cap plug complete with brass plate and pillars which as well as reminding one of Cornwall's past mining industry is also an essay in space, dark and light, and ends with his Rabart's Time Piece, carved from solid acrylic paint.' (F Ruhrmund, p33)
