UN-DOING: Works on Paper by Twinkle Troughton
Until 19 Apr, 11-4
Twinkle Troughton presents a selection of works on paper through which she explores the myth of the English Landscape. Green and Pleasant lands formed of flora and fauna from around the globe, often introduced as a result of colonial pursuits, are depicted with dissolving and corroding paint, as myth, landscape and paint are 'un-done'. Meanwhile, parallel themes that revere nature and contemplate its sensory, healing and psychological effects come to the fore.
Each piece will be available for sale. Entry to the gallery is free, standard rates apply for entry to the Caves below ground.
The exhibition appears in the Margaret Bryan Gallery, a space named after one of Britain’s pioneering women in science education, who lived on the Caves site in the 18th Century. Margaret ran a boarding school here for young women, teaching astronomy and the sciences, a radical pursuit at the time. Our gallery will continue in the spirit of providing inspiration in an accessible space.
