Coal Dust Mandala, Jonathan Anderson

Coal Dust Mandala - Jonathan Anderson

14 April — 26 May 2012

“My work is about impermanence…”

The temporal nature of Anderson’s work is exemplified by his preoccupation
with coal as both a metaphor and medium. Coal is made from ancient carbon
deposit; it could be seen to represent both our beginning, and ultimately our end.
Additionally in the context of South Wales, it is loaded with socio-political meaning and symbolism.

Somehow Anderson counter-balances its emotive heritage with the mysterious beauty of its actual substance; its seductive shimmering darkness. Anderson uses coal in an almost ritualistic way, on a daily basis, to make his coal dust ‘mandala’.

Each work is composed of a carefully executed solid form which is produced by applyinglayers of coal dust onto a selected piece of ephemeral material. The works take on a transcendent and poetic power.
