Grabbing Time, Andrew Small & Fiona Stirling

Grabbing Time, Andrew Small & Fiona Stirling (Balcony installation)

Andy Small and Fiona Stirling create these works by exchanging materials, experiments, off-cuts, demonstration outcomes, found objects and happy accidents. They pass these objects to each other, grabbing time to discuss the results between their teaching sessions and other jobs and responsibilities, collaborating through ‘successive destructions’ (Bataille) to make new forms.

The artworks evolve through acts of shared and relinquished control. The alterations involve a succession of changes, each destroying the proceeding state, which can be unsettling but fun!

Once described as ‘the most Bohemian place on Earth’ and ‘The Egg is a veritable garden of delights’ by one of our valued customers, The Egg is one of the last authentic eating houses in the city of Liverpool. As well as being Liverpool’s premier vegetarian/vegan restaurant, The Egg hosts an independent art gallery showcasing a broad mix of artists work and is a celebrated and vibrant meeting place.

On sunny days, light streams gloriously through the windows on to huge tables that happily accommodate large groups or individuals and friends who haven’t met yet. The relaxed and bohemian atmosphere attracts a diverse crowd and is especially popular amongst artists, students and travellers alike.
