Wendelien Bakker has transformed the Gallery’s bunker into a sculptural surface that considers the practical and poetic aspects of catching rain, channelling the water through a grid of guttering and down into the earth.
Collection
Artist Unknown Illuminated Leaf from a Book of Hours, (recto) Psalm 13:6, Psalm 43:1–4; (verso) Psalm 43:4–5, Psalm 129:1-6
This illuminated manuscript page from the early fifteenth century is likely from a Book of Hours, commonly used by Christians during the Middle Ages to establish regular patterns of prayer. The words here in Latin are from two Bible psalms that were to be recited or sung. Inscribed in ink on animal skin parchment, they are embellished with precious gold leaf and watercolour.
