David Kefford's Sculpture "Bakers Dozen"

Six artists from the King’s Lynn Arts Centre have each created two responses to a domestic object they have chosen from the Lynn Museum collection.

It’s all part of Aspire, a 3 year project funded by the Arts Council and conceived by Liz Falconbridge, Director of the King’s Lynn Arts Centre Trust in partnership with Lynn Museum and Freebridge Community Housing.

The large Triffid-like sculpture by David Keffort [left] mimics the form of an early 20th Century egg stand, using simple materials and low-tech processes in an imaginative way.

The structure is precariously balanced on a 3-legged stand wedged over an egg-like central form consisting of multiple layers of plastic shrink-wrap. Threads of taught red twine hold it all together.

Richard Layzell’s “Silver Service” [below] was inspired by knife or carver rests c1900.

“When I was in China a few months ago, and thinking about the Re-Home project, I found some ceramic ‘rests’ for artists’ brushes. These can be seen as part of my display at the Lynn Museum” said Richard.
