LEO XIII is happy to invite you to the opening of Blizzard by siblings Jacob and Florence Dwyer. Blizzard is a collaborative installation in which Jacob Dwyer presents 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, take 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 warp in alignment to open up ideas surrounding birth, death, friendship and grief.
*The audio work is 50m long and begins on the hour every hour.
