Ilona Halperin @ Mount Stuart House & Gardens, Isle of Bute

With There is a Volcano Behind My House, Ilana Halperin creates works inspired by the geology of the Island of Bute where she now spends much of her time. Situated throughout the house, four distinct yet contiguous series of sculptures, works on paper and textile reference ‘immigrant’ minerals embedded in the fabric of the building, as well as geologic phenomena found on the island. Halperin describes this work as a constellation combining personal, poetic and corporeal responses to the house and island.
