In her largest solo exhibition, artist Charlotte Grayland uses the exhuming of memory through objects and game structures, whilst exploring the formation of identity in childhood, in asking audiences to remember their collective pasts.
About
Join the Artist and Curator of Cardiff MADE and Oriel Y Bont, Treforest to introduce the ideas behind the presentation of Swings & Roundabouts, supported by the Arts Council of Wales. Explaining why the joint shows are linked and explore her personal relationship to childhood games as a metaphor for how we can navigate our lives.
For Grayland, her solo exhibition Swings & Roundabouts hosts “artworks that act as a portal to discuss memory, relationships between people, and intimate moments in the domestic or familiar space. I’m transforming and expanding patterns and rhythms of play, placing those rules at the centre of human experience, and drawing on my own childhood which shapes my view, how I process the world."
As Zoë Gingell, Curator of the joint exhibition spaces explains;
“This duality is explored by Grayland both through the work and consciously in linking the work across the two exhibition sites. They form a complete picture; part riddle and part answer. In the twin shows, Grayland seeks to engage audiences in reconnecting with gameplay in adulthood as a way to understand and observe the mechanisms of one’s own inner life.”
The exhibition Swings and Roundabouts runs from 16 Feb until 17th MAR 2023 across both sites : Oriel y Bont & Cardiff MADE Gallery
