Welcome.

The work of 20 artists, created as a result of Covid-19.


 
 

Over the past few months, we've all had to react to changes in personal circumstances and adapt to living in a distorted environment.

During the first lockdown, access to studios and facilities was limited, meaning our artists had to think outside the box (while staying in the box) and modify their practice in order to continue making work. The outcome has been an exploration of mediums - iPad drawings, hand-woven tapestries, 3D printed sculptures and DIY printmaking from the kitchen floor. This show is a marker of defiance to all those who rode the First Wave.

Live online tour and Q&A: 14/11/20 - 5PM - RECORDING
