Opening Night 17 June, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Following the success of her debit solo exhibition Where The Dry Leaves Fall at Gorker Gallery in 2008, Leah Bartholomew presents her new body of work. These are the Days in her second solo exhibition.
These are the Days is an intimate exploration of the small, specila moments that bind us togethter in friendship and create a sense of place. The prints, collages and paper sculptures delicately handcrafted by Bartholomew tell the story of a protracted coming of age, anchored in the landscapes of both experience and imagination.
From poetic scenes such as the group of friends azing in a sun-drenched field, to the bonding of the shared beer in city back streets, to the quiet moment of solitude amongst prsimatic trees, these works honour the events and emotions that can seem almost insignificant at the time, but go on to become important memories and dreams. The convey a similar feeling to that of discovering the smell of bonfire smoke on a pair of jeans that you haven’t worn for weeks.
Nostalgic. Ethereal. Personal. Precious.
