Roots and Rivets: Responses to Nature and Industry brings together works developed in response to two source paintings: Polluted Pool at Maindee by Jack Crabtree and Steelworks, Ebbw Vale by Nan Youngman. One depicts a compromised natural landscape, the other an industrial site of production and labour. This exhibition explores how artists translate these contrasting environments into new forms, creating a dialogue between growth and manufacture, fragility and force.
Workshop: Make a Mini-landscape
On Saturday the 28th of February 28th come to a drop in workshop from 10:00 – 12:00 and 13:00 – 15:00.
