Kilns and Casts
Casts –
In the period up to 1995 Neville Gabie worked extensively casting aluminum into pre-carved or constructed wooden forms. This lead onto three commissions working with an iron foundry, Cerdic Foundry, in Chard, Somerset. One work is installed in Chard High Street – 1990, one in Sandford Park, Cheltenham 1993 and one at Milfield School 1995
Kilns –
In the period up to 1995 Neville Gabie worked extensively firing clay within pre-carved and constructed wooden kilns. Both these works and the works with aluminum are as much about the process as the objects. This more than any other factor links them directly to the temporary works of that time. One of these kilns, made in 1987 is in the Arts Council Collection
