The Local Landscape
8 May - 19 June 2005
Redland Art Gallery, Cleveland, Gallery 1, 2, 3, 4
The Local Landscape looks at places in the Redlands that engage and constitute artists’ practice.
Artists were asked to present works that are representations of places in the Redlands, and also of places that exist in abstract thought, through reflection of the landscape.
Each artist has written about their art and the relationship their work has with the Redlands.
