Three contemporary artists explore materiality in sculpture in the exhibition Fragment and Form at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds.

Emii Alrai, Mónica Mays and Dominique White choose their materials based not only on their physical properties and malleability but also due to their symbolic meanings and associated narratives. At Fragment and Form you’ll find more organic materials like wood and ash, as well as synthetic ones like metal wire and chains.

History and myth are recurring motifs in the work of the three artists.  Despite having very different oeuvres, their work intersects where all three explore heritage and displacement.
