Wander_Land
Exhibition by Royal Society of Sculptors members at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens & Gallery, 1 July — 5 Aug. Work responds to landscape and wandering
Inspired by a pilgrimage route that passes through Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, Wander_Land explores our relationship between landscape and wandering.
The exhibition is a next step, something of a sequel to the 2022 Chichester Cathedral exhibition, Together We Rise, in which Royal Society of Sculptors members reflected on their experience of, and response to, COVID lockdowns.
Wandering, in a conscious sense, suggests links with asceticism, joy, protest, well-being, environmental awareness and harmony. In addition, and probably most closely associated with the location of Wander_Land, is the act of pilgrimage; St Michael’s Way, one of the Camino routes which leads to Santiago de Compostella in Northwest Spain, passes through Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
The responses by the artists to the theme of this exhibition are varied and intriguing. There is humour, ambiguity, beauty, environmental critique, and playfulness. Wander_Land features work in a wide range of media and sizes, placed outside, and in three gallery spaces, on floor, wall and ceiling.
‘Conventional, excavated and eco-materials are used to explore ephemerality and the awareness and responsibility of 'Passing Through' as a privileged guest for a short while.’ Jane Fox.
The work is selected by the artists themselves. Penzance-based art writer Martin Holman is advising throughout.
