oriel lockdown - aberystwyth arts centre june 21st to sept 25th 2021
Two of my images from 'The Event' were included in this group show - the smaller images in the photograph.
This exhibition celebrates the value that the arts have played over the period of the pandemic. With most of us confined to our houses and the local vicinity, we noticed on social media that a huge amount of people including amateur and professional artists were turning to art and creativity to see them through. We wanted to capture a snapshot of this unprecedented time where we have collectively had to face an overwhelming, extraordinary and uncertain situation, and so decided to make an open call out to submit works that were created during lockdown and responded to the pandemic.

Below, Alicia Miller recently spoke with Julian McKenny about one such project, McKenny’s documentary series [About] A Place, to find out what resonates with him to make these images."

With a selection of works based on mummy wrappings, Gwen wrapped a tree stump on our land in fabric and I photographed it as nature took its course as a collaboration, which Gwen was then able to use to show the work in her final show.
