We are really excited to be working with the brilliant Daniel & Clara in preparation for their exhibition, 'Dreamers in the Landscape', coming to East Quay early next year! 📢
The exhibition will feature a new series of large photographs of figures sleeping in the Somerset countryside, out of which will grow surreal sculptural forms that evoke moss, brambles, fungi and lichen. Taken during visits to sites associated with Coleridge and Wordsworth, from the Quantock Hills to Exmoor, the work will explore entanglements between natural processes and the imagination. 🌱
Daniel & Clara will present a world under enchantment, where a shift in the balance between human and nature has taken place – inviting viewers to enter a dream space where the boundaries between the worlds within us and around us dissolve. ✨️
Alongside the exhibition, Daniel & Clara will be creating a participatory mail art series exploring the lives of nocturnal creatures that shape the landscapes around us while we are sleeping. 🦫
ℹ️ About the artists:
Daniel & Clara are an artist duo who have been working together since 2010, and their practice spans moving image, photography, installation and mail art.
Their work grows from encounters with sites in the British landscape that are rich in personal or cultural resonance. They consider the relationship between humans and the natural world through the lens of dreams, mythology, psychology and art history. Their recent projects have focused on exploring the environmental crisis as a psychological crisis.
🗓️ 'Dreamers in the Landscape' will be on display in Gallery 1 at East Quay. from Saturday 13 February - Sunday 6 June 2027.
