New original art just loaded

On Sunday 6 April 2025 our group exhibition Head Under Water opens at RK Contemporary Gallery in Riebeek Kasteel. The exhibiting artists are:

Me (Kristen McClarty) - original woodcut and monotype print including state prints on Japanese Asarakusui hemp lace
Cynthia Edwards - Ceramic vessels and ceramic relief sculpture
Danielle Clough - Embroidery

This exhibition brings together three artists working in process driven mediums (hand pulled original print, ceramics and embroidery) in response to a set of photographs of a body under water, moving through a space. The theme that underpins the exhibition is the notion that energy or experience accumulates in a place, interacting with the environment and what happens there, both before and after the event.

The artists have explored this idea and visually expressed their thoughts with a series of abstract works using colours and shapes that tell a story of a fleeting transfer of energy, an interaction with a space or the memory of a moment. In some of the works, the viewer can make out the presence of human form, but in most, the viewer is left with an impression of movement and the residue of a moment. A brief, ephemeral instance captured by the artist, where the stimulus of the world drops away, as if the artist is Head Under Water.

The Exhibition Catalogue is available online, and can be accessed via the following link: Head Under Water Exhibition Catalogue
