WHEN THE EARTH HOLDS YOU, curated by Lada Wilson
Patriot Hall Gallery, Edinburgh, August 24th - September 5th 2023.
When the earth holds you presents a series of intimate collaborations with landscape.
Where paper votives and performative prints respond to the rhythms of the year.
The moon is a mirror of the sun, as the seasons our testament to time.
Here is the lesson:
The circle is an unknowable form.
Treat the earth as an apothecary, where poetic cosmologies emerge through the remembered rituals of making.
The elements used for orientation:
mineral
pigment
water
sunlight
Perennial – Spring. Plenty - Summer. Enlighten – Autumn. Celestial -Winter.

‘make a poem that does not disturb
the silence from which it came’.
