For her first solo museum show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, London-based artist LR Vandy fills The Weston Gallery with a soaring rope maypole and surrounding figures made from 30 kilometers of rope and yarn — a material she traces directly to its role in maritime trade and the history of colonial enslavement. The work draws from her residency at the last working ropery in Britain, at Chatham’s Historic Dockyard, and the resulting sculptures oscillate between ritual, resistance, and structural beauty.
