Curated exhibition - changed it - added old relevant work - and prepared 100 words

 

Overnight I considered that the grouping was really helpful but that it was all the same line of enquiry and I wanted to curate along an eyeline, with some of the spaces at either side reflecting the simple, prices led enquiries around references and artworks that were resolved or valid for some reason. 

Had a lovey chat with Warren, the metal work technician around my practice and he mentioned a project his partner was working on with B Arts around Molly Leigh. It was really nice to bring the work out of the studio to have the conversations that I need around it.

Artist statement:

Lorna Lakin Lornas’ artistic practice is centered around the witch. She investigates the impact of the witch trials, and the erasure and deligitimisation of matrilineal knowledge on the contemporary experience. Through her work she explores social roles and structures, expectations and our growing disconnection with nature. In paintings, Lorna often depicts apotropaic marks and uses iconography including apples and pointy hats to explore visual language, whilst drawing from photographs and abstraction. The

resulting artworks are a visual exploration into the complexities of lived experience. Instagram handle: @lorna_lakin Online: https://lornalakin.com
