The new member’s exhibition at Blue Knob Hall Gallery explores the ways in which artists interpret and respond to their environment, the landscape, the abodes and communities we live in. These themes often shape a creative practice, whether through physical geography, emotional resonance, cultural belonging or personal memory. Our sense of place is often woven from narratives and myths, creation stories, family histories and even fictional tales – all of which help us understand and imagine the places we call home. A “Sense of Place” invited artists to participate in a diverse and thoughtful interpretation of what it means to connect with place.
Into the Wild West II by Jennifer Edwards in The Solo Space
Jennifer’s work is based on what’s around her and in her environment. This exhibition features portraits of her family, dogs and a self portrait, along with the ‘Wild West’ Paintings.
Through her research and finding influence, Jennifer has been led to her interpretation of the Wild West by French contemporary artist, Mark Maggiori. Her art becomes a language which is explored along with the viewer and she has continued this exploration over the last few years.
Both exhibitions will run until Sat July 19th.
