Opening this Friday!

Gallery open 11-4 Saturdays and Sundays 16 Oct — 8 Nov 
booking is required for all visits

 
Collaborating with his partner, weave designer Angharad McLarenWoven / Ground features their hand woven, patterned linen canvases made from some of the flax they also grew and harvested.  These new paintings show images of the ground painted in earth pigments intermeshed with the pattern in the canvas. Different tensions are turned up or down to explore variations between order and chaos, digital and analogue, macro and micro. Like being immersed in natural environments, the paintings invite the viewer to find recognisable tropes, focus, and order among complexity. The accompanying sound installation uses the weave patterns and field recordings to create an immersive audio counterpart. Online the Haarlem Periodical will premiere Within the Surface, a new film by Gavin Repton that has followed the artist over the years, documenting the various processes involved in making the work. 

Entrance is free but please do book due to Covid 19 restrictions
