Exhibitions
Walking... Landscape... Memory Thursday 7 January - Saturday 27 February
This exhibition launches a year during which Salisbury Arts Centre focuses on environmental concerns. On show will be the work of three artists influenced by Wiltshire’s landscape. A series of black and white photographs by Fay Godwin from 1975 capture the timelessness of this landscape. Painter Lydia Halcrow exhibits brand new work inspired by her walks on Salisbury Plain, collapsing tank path maps with landscape vistas to create brooding images. Rob Irving uses photographs and modified LiDAR maps to explore the myth of subterranean ‘Earth energies’, which course through Avebury’s ritual landscape. Meet the Artists Saturday 23 January • 2pm | Free but booking essential An informal conversation with Lydia Halcrow and Rob Irving who will talk about their work and how the pieces in this exhibition play a part in their wider artistic practice. The discussion will be followed by a tour of the exhibition with the artists and exhibition curator.
