About

Two artists explore the area between hard evidence and supposition, realism and theatre are the subject of a new exhibition opening at PM Gallery & House. Textile artist Shelly Goldsmith and Photographer Sarah Pickering explore the working methods and thought processes of forensic scientists, to fill their work with stories and imagined scenarios. Together, the work illustrates the extent to which both scientists and artists, working in very different practices, build pictures, construct scenarios and make assumptions. Sarah Pickering's photographs feature a series of specific environments and events, including crime scenes, fires and explosions created for training the police, fire service, and military. Each highly realistic ‘set' of domestic rooms or city streets has been constructed to give a vivid sense of the people involved in or affected by each dramatic incident. Shelly Goldsmith uses textile materials to imagine how intense emotions and psychological states might be left behind as memories within the clothes we wear. Shelly has worked with a senior scientist at the Forensic Science Service to explore their joint interest in constructing narratives from worn clothes; considering how the examination of the latent material within clothing can reveal the experiences of a life.
