Laura Aldridge, Leanne Ross, Judith Scott, The Outside is Inside Everything We Make, 2021
Installation View
The exhibition brings together the work of Laura Aldridge, Leanne Ross and Judith Scott.
A generous and joyous offering The Outside is Inside Everything We Make engages your senses in an immersive installation that envelops the gallery space. Here the process and act of making is the catalyst for understanding the artists own inner thoughts and drives. This is supported by their intuitive relationships to material colour and language.
Originally found in text on product packaging, the title of the exhibition speaks to the impulse of acknowledging the profound influence our daily interactions with people and materials have on what we create or how we choose to communicate. This democratisation of making lends itself to an experience free from the limiting systems of value that are regularly imposed upon artists and their creativity. Whether it be visually, via tactility or shouting words that express a given moment, the exhibition explorers empowerment beyond the ideals of established structures and gives way to valuing the multiplicities of making today.
You are invited to sit on Aldridge's Pickle Stool Prototypes (A new thought for an object) to read chat or simply reflect on your day amongst the psychedelia of Ross's Hot, Hot, Hot, 2021 and her poetic 'Shout Out' paintings where the quotidian is rendered remarkable and celebratory. All the while, Scott's Untitled wrapped object invites a curiosity of an internal world of which Scott only allows glimpses via her fastidious weaving of fabrics and collected materials.
