Triennial 2011   Artists   Cristina Iglesias

CRISTINA IGLESIAS

TITLE: Towards The Sound of Wilderness

Born: 1956 (Nov) San Sebastian, Spain

Lives/Works: Madrid

Martello 4, The Leas, CT20 2JD

Cristina Iglesias’s architectural intervention on the ramparts of Martello 4 offers the illusion of an entrance into another world. Iglesias’s sculpture allows visitors a chance to view this historic
monument for the first time in many years. Visitors will need to negotiate a path cut through shrubs and trees to a mirrored walk-in structure clad with resin foliage. A window at the end of this passageway opens up a view of the overgrown tower and moat with its extraordinary wildlife.
