Andrew Sabin

The works were constructed from hard masses of expanded polyeurathane, fibreglass and steel covered with camouflage nylon and studded with lustre-glazed ceramic buttons.

The installation was composed of thousands of chains hung from the ceiling to the floor to make numerous interlinked enclosures or cells, their floating walls anodized with figurative images and abstract shapes and colors.

The success of this as an approach to sculpture in the public realm led to his appointment as lead artist in a series of large scale projects in both urban and rural contexts.

Later in 2006 he was commission by Hanson Heidelberg to make 'The Coldstones Cut', which was completed in 2010 and won Sabin the Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture for 2011.

Simultaneous to his work in the public realm Sabin continued a rigorous studio practice; "deep and enduring interest in the fundamentals of how it can be used, pieced together and negotiated.

He was included in 'Other Criteria' (2004) at Henry Moore Institute taking stock of one hundred years of British sculpture' and in 'Over Under' (2007) at Canary Wharf with Keith Wilson and Franz West.
