Alison Wilding uses traditional and modern sculptural processes, including modelling, carving, casting and constructing, to explore the physical properties of materials. Rising is based on research into the design and construction methods of the first atomic pile, created in 1942, a structure which echoed the stepped and pyramid structures of ancient civilisations.
