“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.
