Fine banana fibres form a suspended, open structure, shifting from dense earthy browns to delicate golden strands.
In Connections, Kirsty Glasgow reveals the unexpected beauty of withered banana stems. A long, narrow form brings together tangled fibres and delicate, grid-like layers, allowing light to pass through and cast intricate shadows. Its uneven surface and loose strands retain the character of the natural material.
The work began with a banana plant destined for the compost heap. Looking closely, Kirsty discovered fine fibres and paper-like networks within its decaying stems. These contrasting layers reflect her ongoing connection with nature and her sustainable practice, finding creative possibilities in materials that might otherwise be discarded.
This suspended sculpture would bring texture and quiet presence to an entryway, stairwell or living room, where space around it allows its intricate structure and shadows to be appreciated.
