An exhibition of site specific work by studio holders at Bath Artists’ Studios
Monday 30 September to Sunday 13 October 2019
Roper Gallery, Bath Artists’ Studios, The Old Malthouse, Comfortable Place, Bath, BA1 3AJ.
The World Heritage site of Avebury in Wiltshire, UK is place that has a deep history of human engagement. During the latter half of 2018 and throughout 2019, artists from Bath Artist’s Studios have been visiting the site collectively and individually as a field based methodology that focuses on site specific making, collaboration and creative conversations. This exhibition presents the outcome of some of that work as well as some of the conversations that took place in this ancient landscape.
Artists:
Felicity Bowers
Artist and printmaker. I teach drawing and printmaking at Bath Artists’ Studios. I have been visiting Avebury and other megalithic sites for 40 years, studying and pondering their significance and the layers of time they represent.
Mary Caron-Courtney
The mystery and timeless layering of the landscape evoke exploration of surface. Trodden and embedded markings create their own narrative to be developed through a range of contemporary media.
Beverley Ferguson
I am a Textile and Mixed-Media artist. Surfaces and textures intrigue and interest me. Through the exploration of textiles I find myself, encounter others and inhabit landscapes around me.
Simon Ferguson
I wanted to express my feelings about Avebury using multimedia, something modern technology has made more accessible. I have found the landscape and its sites have provoked so many thoughts in me that I wanted to do more than just make photographs. It has meant learning new software and experimenting so I feel that this is an ongoing project rather than a finished piece.
