The exhibition takes its cue from bells and their radical modes of communication. As crafted objects, artefacts and instruments, bells in their various forms engage in the materiality of metal. That which is sounded and mobile and that which is silent, still, latent. There is the idea of contact, material resonance, emanations and a sense of expansiveness. Think of the way in which fluffy seeds appear on the spherical head of a dandelion. Often, seeds disperse themselves outwards, with abandon, forging on, ever-outwards. We are heartened by the way in which the sound of a bell travels across distances indiscriminately. Bells involve the tintinnabular – ringing and tinkling sounds, causing small vibrations, resonances and ripple effects.
Dandelions (if not you, who?), considers the politically instructive quality of the seed dispersal of dandelions, anarchist calls to action, and animal transgressions in urban places.
