NOTE FROM THE CURATOR:
There are undercurrent of themes throughout Her Weight in Gold. The main body of the exhibition comprises strong and figurative work. During such an isolating time, perhaps this choice developed from a desire to be intimate, and close to people again. There is a closeness and proximity to the way a lot of the works are composed; up close and personal. Often further inspired by various degrees of lockdown and isolation, many of the artists have submitted works based in the domestic environment.
The submissions drew me to brightness, interesting use of colour and contrast. We have punctuated the busy figurative works with robust abstract pieces. They allow a breathing space of deep thought. Nothing feels unfamiliar, even in satirical and humorous pieces.
When reviewing submissions, the selected pieces had an overarching promise of hope, light, humour, nostalgia and togetherness while apart, so needed during this time. Even the abstract works are tight-knit, pulling together or addressing the viewer directly.
