‘The End and the Beginning’ by Wislawa Szymbor

‘The End and the Beginning’ by Wislawa Szymborska
“After every war
Someone has to tidy up
Things won’t pick themselves up, after all”

I never thought of this as ‘Landscape of the Future’
Seems the destructive pointlessness of war never really went away.
We are making a world more like the landscape of the past.

Why?

We are pleased to welcome you to a new exhibition

We are pleased to welcome you to a new exhibition at Tension Fine Art in May.
These sculptures and paintings are of a familiar world, but with a hint of something gone awry.

The installation explores the narratives we tell about the world we inhabit, with a shadow hiding behind the colourful facade.

The exhibition relates to my artists’ book Landscape of the Future, which I will be presenting at the gallery on Saturday 14th of May at 2pm.
Please join us at the preview, Thursday 5th May 6 - 9 pm or at the book and film show for a jaundiced look at the Anthropocene and geo engineering.

Sometimes the only thing left is prayer. Praying

Sometimes the only thing left is prayer.
Praying for the cold and hungry last survivors of Mariupol and the last valiant defenders of this strategic port.

Big thank you to Ken @tensepressure for the invitation to exhibit.

This series of paintings was inspired by books about the anthropocene and geoengineering.

All of my work explores the ways our personal narratives shape the world we inhabit.
Whether an idyllic, imagined arcadia of perfect nature, or a dystopian nightmare, we are forever framing the world in our narrative.

This book is in the collection of the @britishlibrary and a few copies are still available.
