About the Event
You are invited to the Private View on Tuesday 12 December, from 6 to 8pm
The title Desire Lines refers to the formation of unplanned pathways made collectively through movement of either humans or animals.
They are a physical trace of our individual and collective decision-making and the paths we follow and exist throughout the natural landscape, as well as being visible in the urban environment, where they may form an alternative to the prescribed routes.
The title suggests a reflection of our journeys as artists, how we interact with our environment, how we tread new paths and explore either physically and metaphorically the world around us. It also embodies the relationship we have as a group, and how our paths may merge or fork in unpredictable ways, and how those desire lines have shaped us and our creative practice.
The work presented here is a response from each artist to the theme, exploring the paths we have taken and their relationship with the environment in which we live.
