Appreciation towards Joseph Walsh Studio for providing the following description:

Joseph Walsh 对木材的应用称得上是出神入化。在最近的新展览Magnus Celestii中，其新作让人更为赞叹。如今他对木材的探索又达到了一个新起点。

Joseph Walsh曾给gooood分享过：
Enignum – and other stories别开生面，艺术家创造了全新的设计语言。

Magnus Celestii 是Joseph Walsh工作室第一件此类规模的作品。
作品名称来源于拉丁文Magnus（“大”）和Celesti（天空的）。Joseph十分注重体验，这个大规模的装置可以让参观者流连其间。

Magnus Celestii is the first work of this scale to be realised by Joseph Walsh’s studio.

The title of the pieces derives from the Latin words Magnus (‘Large’ / ‘Great’) and Celesti (‘Heavenly’). Here, Joseph is conscious of the viewers’ experience, the increased scale allows the viewer to move within the piece.

这个线条自由的大型雕塑用一层层的橄榄木构成，从地板蜿蜒上升至天花板。从开端的桌面造型向外扩散直到包围整个“艺术之家”的空间，最终悬挂栖息在画廊侧墙上成为大的搁架。“艺术之家”的展览空间为Joseph提供了在Roche Court新艺术中心特有环境下诠释形态和功能关系的机会。

The large, free form sculpture is made from layers of ash, spiralling upwards from floor to ceiling. Emerging out of a desk form, the sculptural work expands outwards to wrap the entire one-roomed space of the Artists’ House, coming to rest with a large shelf hanging on the side wall of the gallery. The site specific work for the exhibition space in the Artist house presented an opportunity for Joseph to address the relationship between form and function within the unique context of the New Art Centre at Roche Court.

该大规模作品标志着Joseph Walsh工作室和作坊一个新的出发点。Joseph尝试继续进行对形态的探索，同时坚持最大限度利用材料的原则。这些材料是多年工作中累积下来的。该项目为Joseph Walsh工作室开启了新的探索领域。

The Magnus large-scale work represents a significant departure for the studio and workshop, as Joseph sought to continue his language of exploring form while adhere to the principle of employing materials sympathetically. The piece is a culmination of many years work and marks out new territory the studio intends to continue exploring.
