Exhibition: The Fabric of History

Join us for the opening of our first exhibition at
Unit 2 Piazza Shopping Centre

Private view and artist talk - 12 March, 5pm - 7pm

Maggie Thompson & Susan Wright

Exhibition: 12 March – 27 March 2020
Open on Friday 13, Saturday 14, Saturday 21, Friday 27 March,
12 – 3pm (and by appointment outside these hours 5 – 7 March)

This exhibition considers fragility and instability. Wright explores the impact of humans on a fragile and unstable environment which results in its erosion. Using discarded objects she explores the tenuous balance between sustainability and destruction. Thompson’s concern is the fragility of the printing plate itself and how its steel surface can be subtlety distorted by the extreme pressure it is exposed to through the action of the press.

Both artists find ways of repairing the materials with which they work and in so doingshow that these fragile objects can be repaired and renewed, and through this process of recovery are transformed.
