About
The starting point for this exhibition comes as a self directed challenge, set by the artist to make a show that disappears.
Already deeply concerned with the environmental impact of her practice, this challenge has shaped every aspect of how the work has been made, shown and the idea of its disappearance once the exhibition closes.
Disappearance underpins every aspect of the work presented, explored through two key interconnecting, perhaps seemingly incongruous themes: waste and magic.
This exhibition includes film, time lapse video, drawings and sculpture made in response to Plymouth's history and city scape. During an extended period of research, Lathwood visited an Energy from Waste Plant, had meetings with Arts University Plymouth staff driving forward approaches to sustainability; and time spent at The Box's archives exploring the history of magic.
