Jodie Carey @ St Cyprian's Church, Marylebone

Stand, is a site-specific work by Jodie Carey reconfigured for a four-day exhibition over the course of Frieze Art Fair. The spectacular Victorian church provides an evocative new context for one of Carey’s most ambitious installations to be restaged.
Fifty vertical earth-cast sculptures populate the church’s transept, at once industrial and abstract, whilst also organic and allusive. The monumental scale of the works belies the fragility of the plaster, soil and colouring pencil used in their making. Their tall, vertical stance recalls the timelessness of standing stone monuments or forests, evoking a primitive connection with the substance of life.
