Once again Peter Randall-Page presents an exciting new body of work, which pushes traditional boundaries of making in Upside Down & Inside Out. The gallery housed three new monumental bronzes. In the creation of these, Randall-Page carved directly into the sand moulds taken from naturally eroded granite boulders, working from the inside out. In Randall-Page’s unique process, the carved indentations in the interior of the moulds become convex bulges. The uniform man-made tool used to create the indentations contrasts with the natural form of the original boulders, which is reminiscent of his earlier Theme and Variation series. Peter Randall-Page explains that he hopes his new works “are ambiguous and allude, by their form, to both erosion and growth.”

The Rock Music Rock Art project was inspired by the ancient 'rock gongs' of remote Lolui Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda. Sponsored by the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation and supported by the British Council, sculptor Peter Randall-Page, composer Nigel Osborne and members of the London Sinfonietta visited Lolui Island where they collaborated with local sculptors and musicians. Whilst on the island, Peter Randall-Page explored and absorbed his surroundings and the island's ancient culture and created the sculpture pictured below entitled Eginja Eriyimba. On his return, the trip inspired Randall-Page to create a new body of work which formed the basis of Pangolin London's inaugural exhibition in 2008.
