Objects with Gravity

A studio visit with Brian Hackett, where bronze works, patience and rare craftsmanship quietly changed the shape of a July exhibition.

Very occasionally, somebody walks into The Kilmorna Collection and within a few minutes rearranges your understanding of what another human being is capable of making.

Brian Hackett arrived wearing a brooch on his jacket.

Not jewellery in the usual sense.

Something older feeling. Something with weight. The sort of object that makes you stop listening to the conversation because your brain is occupied elsewhere.
