Wellow, 24th July 2021 - 14th August 2021 by Sally Waterman

Sally Waterman

Location: Quay Arts, Isle of Wight

Sally Waterman's experimental film, ‘Wellow’ (2020) is installed as a looping projection in the Clayden Gallery. The 'Wellow' project dwells upon place, ancestry, mortality and religion, triggered by the redevelopment of her late Grandfather’s Baptist chapel in the rural village on the Isle of Wight. Drawing upon T.S Eliot’s poem, ‘Four Quartets’ (1935-1942), correlations are made between the temporality of human life, the changing seasons and her ancestor’s connection to the local landscape. This autobiographical work considers the role of faith within her mother’s family and the generational differences in their religious practices and attitudes.

Pod, 2021 by Louise Garland

Louise Garland

'Pod' explores the mechanical aspects of the reproductive system within Nature. It was partly inspired by Dylan Thomas' poem ' the force that through the green fuse drives the flower'..... this poem contemplates how the same natural mechanics that drives sap through tree trunks and the stems of plants is also at play within our own bodies - driving the blood through our veins until we die, but the cycle of birth and death is continuous - humans, animals and plants all operate within a larger mechanism that appears to be moving forwards, but is perhaps also repeating.
