NEXTAlison BrittonMaking it Up8 November to 22 December
The first major showing of new work by Alison Britton in the UK since her outstanding retrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum.Table and wall pieces on a variety of scales feature, as well as unexpected versions of Britton’s graspable handles. ‘Small’ appears more beautiful to her than before. Recent table-based pots have a horizontal reach, giving them a wide and embracing presence. The interiors of this developing series are as important as the exterior and invite closer investigation. The artist compares her current approach, paying more attention to inner volume, to ‘seeing into a pond’. The theme of reflection is also echoed in her new wall pieces, where the viewer meets the work face to face, in these mirror-like oval/oblong forms. PLEASE NOTE THE GALLERY WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY 15TH DECEMBER
