This exhibition brings together the work of longtime friends Brittney Appleby and MV Williams. The artists’ practices inform one another and build upon each other’s growth. The mediums and processes they work in are time-based and are often done alone, like with the development of film in a darkroom or with the temporal and slow process of cyanotype photography, where one is subject to the intensity and longevity of the sun’s rays.
Experimental in nature, too, Appleby’s and Williams’ work grows from the unexpected and everchanging nature of their mediums. The allusion of control over these experimental processes relates to the subject matter of their work: Appleby often refers to experiences with chronic illness and disability and Williams reflects on memory and the relationship to place and home.
Curator: Alanna Edwards
Origin of Exhibition: Surrey Art Gallery
Join the artists at the Summer Opening: [e]merging Art Party on July 5; a cyanotype workshop on July 19; and an artist talk on August 7.
