| The World Will Wander - Lyrigraphs & Sculptures |
This show brings together new landscape work by Sean Borodale and Kabir Hussain.
Kabir Hussain's sculptures embrace landscape and are created with a sense of drawing. Forms twist and turn to describe the space and give the audience a physical experience.
Sean Borodale's Lyrigraphs are field poems, recording events as they happen, and written in real time.
This exhibition will include a number of lyrigraphs written in the Upper Nettlebridge Valley along the course of the Mells Stream, these printed works will be accompanied by a sound recording taken in the same place as the lyrigraph.
