LESBIAN SCULPTOR ANYA GALLACCIO SPEAKS TO ANNA MCNAY ABOUT HER BEWITCHING STEEL TREE IN WHITWORTH PARK, MANCHESTER
“I am interested in creating experiences, which don’t privilege the visual. I want to create a physical response and phenomenological encounter,” explains Anya Gallaccio, whose artworks include bronze trees hung with rotting apples, a chocolate-painted room, and 2,000 red gerberas pressed under glass frames.
