Imagining Wild

About

An exhibition of new paintings by landscape painter Addy Gardner based on an exploration of the idea of wildness in our local environments and in our lives. Focus is on the contemporary questions of biodiversity loss, land ownership and climate change seen through the artists wanderings through fairytales of her past, rewilding and experiences with activism and community discussion to describe what wildness means to her, and what it means to us. The pop up space will showcase exciting, collaged and painted surfaces which allow the viewer access to Gardners interpretation of the Windrush River and the imagined wild places of both her past and future. As well as the exhibition, there will be a program of informal talks and workshops in order to generate discussion and ideas based on these themes.
