Concrete Ribs
Concrete Ribs was an exhibition of new work by Helen de Main, Sarah Forrest and Carla Scott Fullerton in the former ‘ladies pool’ at Govanhill Baths. Working in printmaking, sculpture, text and video, each of the artists respond in distinctive ways to the history and physical structure of the space.
Taking the context of the 'ladies pool' as a starting point, Helen de Main has produced a series of printed works that look at spaces inhabited by women or specifically created for women. Images have been drawn from research into women's communes, peace camps and swimming pools, as well as directly from the Govanhill Baths Archive. Grainy halftone images overlay clean graphic diagrams in a kaleidoscope of rainbow colours.
A text Universe of Women was commissioned by artist and writer Joanna Peace. Click here to read the text.
