on the sculpture terrace

The artist Caroline Achaintre created Echo Peel, her first outdoor sculpture, for her solo show at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop last year. The French-born artist, who is based in London, describes her work as: “fragile but also a protective layer. It reminds me of another type of outer layer where you change by putting it on. The two holes could be seen as eyes to see through or to see in to.”

Echo Peel has gained extra meaning during lockdown, as we adjust to wearing face masks and coverings in our daily lives.
