Closing soon in Somerset | ‘Prophetic Land’ continues until Sunday 5 January 2025.

‘Prophetic Land’ is a poetic response to the shifting nature of the complex landscape and environment that artists Max Bainbridge and Abigail Booth encountered in Braemar, Scotland, during their month-long residency with Make Hauser & Wirth last year. Immersed in the geological formations of the Cairngorms, they were struck by an increased ability to read the land and look beyond the mask of the picturesque and instead toward the environmental collapse of its ecosystems.

Closing soon in Somerset | ‘The Shape of Here’ continues until Sunday 5 January 2025.

Featuring four UK based artist-makers, Helen Carnac, Ken Eastman, David Gates and Annie Turner, ‘The Shape of Here’ explores new and evolving notions of place through distinct material techniques. Across various perspectives and disciplines—from clay to metal and wood—their experimental investigations result in personal responses to space and landscape. In dialogue with one another, the works presented reflect upon a nature that is constantly changing to evoke a re-evaluation of our relationship to the environment.

In Somerset | ‘The Shape of Here’ | continues until 5 January 2025.

Annie Turner, Net, 2023, 53 x 47 x 21 cm / 20.9 x 18.5 x 8.3 in, Red Grogged Stoneware clay, Lithium glaze, Yellow iron oxide fired to 1220°c. Hand built

Inspired by the River Deben, the work of Suffolk-based ceramic sculptor Annie Turner draws upon the place where her family have lived and worked. Her hand-built nets, ladders and boxes create composite descriptions of the river’s architecture and man’s intervention over time. Her visual language is imbued with connections to place as well as personal memories; fossils collected since childhood form the color palette of her work, each hue linking back to the muddy foreshore on which it was discovered. Both fragile and strong, her work reflects the movement and restlessness of the natural landscape, changing seasons and the passage of time.

Max Bainbridge, Metamorph I, 2024, 60 x 67 x 40 cm / 23.5 x 26.5 x 16 in, Beech wood

Bainbridge’s sculptures look beneath the physical surface of the tree to reveal the fragility of nature in a time of crisis and in doing so he reflects on our psychology in the face of our mortality. His excavation of a section of wild cherry, displaced from its natural environment in the Cairngorms, is a singular attempt to uncover what these arboreal bodies tell us about ourselves and the future of our natural habitats. The riven, hollowed and pinned limb stands fragile and sanded pale as bone, speaking simultaneously to the threats these species face and to their ability to endure and persist against the odds that we bring upon them.

Ken Eastman, Psalis, 53 x 30 x 30 cm / 20.9 x 11.8 x 11.8 in, White stoneware clay, coloured slips and oxides, fired to 1180°c.

Working with the medium of ceramics, Ken Eastman can be both builder and painter, handling shape and structure, as well as exploring tone and colour. The new works in this exhibition are the sum of small decisions, choices and actions built up so that each piece comes into focus slowly. This enables Eastman to concentrate on how each element meets and relates to its neighbours and what it contributes to the whole. In this way, his works are not inspired by a physical, tangible place but his desire to make things he has never seen before, taking viewers to an imagined place.

In Somerset | ‘The Shape of Here’ | 2 November 2024 - 5 January 2025.

David Gates, Threshold VII, 2022, 134.5 x 44.5 x 25.5 cm / 53 x 17.5 x 10 in, Oak, ash

Relocating from London several years ago, David Gates, along with partner Helen Carnac, have since established their studios and workshops in rural West Somerset. This move has seen an ongoing recontextualisation of their practices, particularly through the gathering of source material and visual imagery while walking the surrounding countryside, exploring human interventions in the landscape. Gates’ work has an affinity with agricultural and industrial architecture and infrastructure, focusing on the form and structure of silos, barns, pylons and sheds. Tightly made traditional joinery and cabinet making are combined with split and cleaved pieces wood that carries the marks of its working, whether sawn, split, planed or scraped.
