Anna Gillespie: Hear No Evil...
August 14, 2024
‘The proverb 'Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak no Evil' is pressingly relevant today as we struggle to acknowledge the climate crisis or to speak about it for fear of disturbing ‘business as usual’. Pleasurable consumer culture distractions catch our intention instead, even as they fuel the very crisis we shy from. The sculptures’ hollow and fragmented bodies reflect this agonised state.’ - Anna Gillespie

 

ACS member Anna Gillespie’s life-size sculpture ‘Hear No Evil…’ is now on view in Wells Cathedral as part of the thirteenth annual Wells Art Contemporary. The installation is situated in the Chapter House of the Cathedral, a space historically designed to speak and be heard and will remain on display until the end of the month.
