Mark Woods "To Have To Hold" Exhibition: The Wapping Project

A new exhibition of work by sculptor and jewelery designer Mark Woods at the Wapping Project explores fetishism and many of the pieces have erotic and sensual overtones.They are lovingly fashioned in both precious and base materials. The small sculptures(some can be worn) at The Wapping Project exhibition, have been displayed in a rubber room which is crucial to the context of the objects. The public enters this room through a narrow rubber seal which caresses your body.The sculpture is viewed through peep holes cut into the latex walls. Other port holes appear under the windows encased in black rubber industrial gloves. You are invited to try and fondle the objects of your desire through the rubber as they glisten in their cases out of reach.This is a fitting close to 2009 at the Wapping Project.
