Uncommon Beauty
01.04.23 - 29.05.23
Curated by Verity Pulford, Cabinets of curiosities were encyclopedic collections of objects - the forerunner of museum collections. The cabinet of curiosity was seen as a microcosm, a theatre of the world and was often a wonderfully eclectic range of objects- made and found. Uncommon Beauty – Objects of Curiosity and Wonder is a mixed exhibition which includes artists working in metal, ceramics, glass, textiles, natural materials, paper, print, bone and beeswax. The exhibition is a treasure trove of exquisite works which play with the idea of natural history artifacts, wunderkammer collections, the macro and micro. A collection of beautifully made objects, intriguing textures, materials and unusual forms; blurring lines between the real and the imagined; inviting the viewer to look closely, to question. Artists were selected for their ability to create an intriguing narrative in their use of materials and form. How they transcend the making of realistic, representational work and instead create their own form of magical realism.
