Family relationships, our experiences of play and fantasy, and the myriad ways we have been held and not held play a major part in forming us. To varying degrees, our families or broader networks contain us. Obstacles arise to being held and remembered. The rhythms of early interactions, resonating with our own tendencies, inform how we develop further close relationships. Questions of how to change these patterns may arise, as we grow and take on responsibilities ourselves.

This exhibition offers newly created artwork by four contemporary artists as objects for contemplation and discussion, to embody parts of these ideas, and hold contrasting experiences in playful or imaginative ways. In visual dialogue with one another, new connections will arise between the artworks. A selection of related material (books and drawing materials) will be on hand to encourage further exploration if you wish.

Participating artists: Jonny Aldous, Noor Ali Chagani, Annabel Fraser, Clio Lloyd-Jacob

There will be a discussion with the artists on Sunday 23 March, at 2pm.
2pm.
