Ice catching
20 February 2010
“The ganadero was holding his hands forward one above the other, a space between. As if he held something unseen shut within an unseen box. You do not know what things you set in motion he said. No man can know. No prophet foresee. The consequences of an act are often quite different from what one would guess. You must be sure that the intention in your heart is large enough to contain all wrong turnings, all disappointments. Do you see? Not everything has such a value.”

Neville Gabie
Neville developed new work for the Biennial. In February 2010, he travelled to Greenland to 'harvest' a two ton block of ice, which was shipped to Liverpool and relocated at Tatton Park. His experiment continued in the grounds as he attempted to keep his ice frozen for five months within a bespoke unit employing solar panels and cool water.
