Sarah Elson and Ric Spencer


‘I can’t help but pull the earth around me to make my bed’

Our sense of place encircles us, wrapping us in a blanket of our knowing.

In this exhibition, Sarah Elson and Ric Spencer reflect on their deep entanglements with nature, their shared life and the ongoing dialogue between their practices and their surroundings.

Born from her garden, Elson captures nature’s cycles of growth, entropy and decay through meticulous metalsmithing. Spencer transforms the act of walking into art, centred on the experience of conversational aesthetics, of being in time and space, and the translation of found experience into an examination of art.
