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.
