Thursday 12 -Monday 16 September
Open daily 11 - 5pm
Combining folk imagery and industrial materials, David Nettleingham's first solo exhibition explores the relationship between the natural and unnatural, the politics of ownership, and access to landscapes real and imagined.
Through sculpture and painting, the exhibition explores a tension between the competing interests of enclosure, capitalism and environmental exploitation on one hand, and on the other, of resistance, common ownership and democracy. The works draw on the visual language of folk horror, on geology and deep time, and on the underlying fragility of the things we take for granted.
"A year on from my exhibition of colour photographs in 2023 I have a new show called 'Mirror Ball' displaying manipulated pictures alongside various mixed media creations.
'Mirror Ball' comprises framed images and found objects all displayed as collages, montages, composites, compilations and assemblages. They are all new works produced in 2024.
'Mirror Ball' runs from 18th September 2024 to 22nd September 2024 (11:00am to 4:00pm) at the Hold Gallery - 20 Queen Street Ramsgate CT11 9RD - Free entry”.
