AND YOU MAY FEEL YOURSELF SLOWLY DRIFTING
Kath Buckler
5-7 December, 11-4pm
Evening reception: Saturday 7 December, 5-8pm
We’re very pleased to be working with musician and sound artist Kath Buckler, one year after her hugely successful Stone Winter Hymn at last year's Flamm Festival.
Throughout November, Kath has been in residence using the space to develop a new composition that continues her explorations into how listeners connect to music and to how she wants her music to be heard - creating a site-specific installation for a new piece written for synths, pianos and the sounds of the home
.
Previous work has been about reimagining sensations and a sense of place, And you may feel yourself slowly drifting, is a more personal piece; about knowing herself, and not knowing herself; about change and the fracturing of cycles; about the unique, but also universal experience of sleep and dreams, and the endless minutes spent on the bridges in between them.

AH X BLW PRESENTS: THE LEACHING
An exhibition of new work from Molly Erin McCarthy.
Saturday 7 December – Saturday 21 December
Fri & Sat 11am-5pm (or by appointment at all other times)
Opening reception: Saturday 7 December, 5 – 8pm
PLEASE NOTE : THIS SHOW IS HAPPENING AT BACK LANE WEST
“And now that gateway has been opened, I see it everywhere. It follows me into the dark, phosphorescent spiders dancing in the void. Everything is woven with it, barbed limbs crawl across my dreams. It creeps through my mind searching for a core to make molten, and every dream ends with a shattering, a breakdown. Not torn asunder, but gently pried apart. Until the hidden becomes visible through a grate of bone and sinew.”
The Leaching will present new work from McCarthy exploring resource extraction in Cornwall through the lens of folklore and alchemy.
Inspired by lithium deposits found in abandoned Cornish mines, the exhibition continues McCarthy’s interest in landscape as a physical and philosophical phenomenon.
