An exhibition of drawings, book pieces, prints, and poster poems, relating in different ways to the notions of outside and in.
Outside
Sarah Blair specialises in text-image works. Her series of poster poems on the theme of weather invite conversation around our changing climate and any accompanying shifts in our consciousness.
This project responds to archival ‘weather diaries’ of the 18th and 19th centuries, when weather-watching was also becoming something of a fashionable national past time. Amateur enthusiasts were reaching for barometers and thermometers on verandas and in bedrooms, confecting a new type of language to pin down observations and hunches.
The work featured in this show focuses on the year 1824-25, precisely 200 years ago.
Inside
After fifty years of trying, Bill Prosser is still making matter of fact drawings about things that don’t matter.
