Exhibition catalogue with essay by Camilla Wagstaff [PDF]

Hot, Cold, Heavy, Light is an exhibition of recent works from Dionisia Salas, Rosalind Lemoh, Merryn Lloyd and Jacqueline Bradley. Intimate in scale, their works capture bodily gesture through the tactile mark. A sucked orange is frozen in bronze, a face washer crystalises into glass, bodies float in and out of soft abstraction and textile threads are caught in small quilts. 

These pieces act as a reflection on the series of moments and tasks that make up a day. A shared experience of motherhood feeds into their practices shaped by the routines of looking after children which are both a mixture of toil and wonderment. Alongside their studio practices, days are filled with truffle hunting, looking at the shape of a biscuit, expressing milk, and drawing butterfly chrysalides. 

These works are a beginning in which new connections and ideas emerge in conversation with one another. Salas, Lemoh, Lloyd and Bradley are artists drawn together not by genre or theme, but by experience.
