LEO XIII was happy to host Blizzard by siblings Jacob and Florence Dwyer. Blizzard was a collaborative installation in which Jacob Dwyer presented an audio drama alongside a series of ceramic sculptures by Florence Dwyer.
Tom’s House, follows the diaristic meanderings of a man who has entered the empty house of an old friend. As he wanders around the creaky Tudor cottage—making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections, and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space—he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy.The sculptures, created in response to the audio, took their formal departure from a fireback: a cast iron slab that sits at the back of a fireplace, designed to protect the bricks of a building from fire while also radiating heat back into the room. The spoken words and sculpted imagery warped in alignment to open up ideas surrounding birth, death, friendship and grief.
