Our sense of place encircles us, wrapping us in a blanket of our knowing. In this exhibition, Sarah Elson and Ric Spencer reflect on their deep entanglements with nature, their shared life and the ongoing dialogue between their practices and their surroundings. Born from her garden, Sarah Elson captures nature’s cycles of growth, entropy and decay through meticulous metalsmithing. While Ric Spencer transforms the act of walking into art, centred on the experience of conversational aesthetics, of being in time and space, and the translation of found experience into an examination of art.
The title of this exhibition is taken from lyrics by Florence Welch and Tom Hull, from the song Ship to Wreck, Florence and the Machine, 2015.
The exhibition continues till 26 October.
