James Moore

Pandora

 

If I could Sink My Teeth Into The Whole Earth, 2015.

Bridget Kennedy

Four artists (Bridget Kennedy, Mair Hughes, Katie McGown and Olivia Turner) took up residence in the Ex Libris Gallery in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in order to explore their shared interest in the legacy of industry in the British landscape. Over a five day period these artists will discussed their ideas, shared materials and created an installation using works in progress.

The project culminated in a chaired discussion between the artists and archaeology staff from Newcastle University. Excerpts form this discussion can be accessed on

Bridget Kennedy

 

Antarctic cagoule from landscape, 2018.

Allison Neal

The series of jackets were made from canvases laid directly on the soil. Soil and stones were drawn round in charcoal, pencil and paint. The marks are created by the earth itself.

The landscape is not other, not separate; it enfolds us like a coat. We wear the landscape.
