Turner Prize nominee Anya Gallaccio's impressive new sculpture at the Camden Arts Centre sees her once again harnessing materials from nature, having previously employed rotting fruit, horse chestnuts and chocolate in her work. For that open space within, Gallaccio foraged in the gallery's back garden and supervised the felling of a dead tree earlier in the year. Gallaccio resurrects the top of the leafless, fragmented tree inside the exhibition space with the support of rope and pins, so that it appears to be bursting through the walls and floor. The piece is an appropriate continuation of the artist's preoccupation with the transience of life and certainty of decay.
