'Further Than Memory Can Reach '

The Title for this exhibition 'Further Than Memory Can Reach' is taken from Gaston Bachelard's book 'The Poetics of Space', in which he explores many nooks and crannies of the house. My exhibition at Winterbourne House and Gardens in Birmingham https://www.winterbourne.org.uk, explores various areas of the House and Gardens, from the historic owners, to the contemporary visitors and many people who help Winterbourne to thrive. There are also some tentative links to a few of the paintings in the collection of the Barber Institute at The University of Birmingham which will eventually become clear. The exhibition begins February 2025 for 6 months - more details and paintings to follow.
