Ken Carter Fireplace relief


Untitled (Fireplace Relief)
Ken Carter, 1969, Triptych, Cement Fondue and resin aluminium.
218 x 152 cm

The relief shows Adam and Eve at the gates of an orchard with a figure of a man climbing over the gate to get to the apples. It is in three sections, the standing figures (Adam & Eve) are cast in cement fondue while the section above is made in lighter resin & fibreglass. All have an aluminium gelcoat.

Installation

Reliefs from Figgins



We've unpacked the crates containing the reliefs from the lounge at Figgins which surrounded the fireplace. They are in three pieces and here we are trying the two standing figures against a wall in our lounge at Bassett Road.
The plan is to put in a fireplace here.
