A Gathering: London APT Gallery
3 — 6 October 2024
Jo Ball, Lydia Halcrow, Kelly M O’Brien
curated by Judith Rodgers
A Gathering of Unasked Possibility crafts an interactive space and an exhibition that invites what is possible without demand. Transporting us to an experience far from our daily existence and yet intimately connected to it.
Artists Jo, Kelly, and Lydia, draw out and explore themes around ecological uncertainty and relational entanglement. Their work leverages creative and hope filled perspectives, offering both ballast and antidote to the precarity of current times.
The artists present new work spanning sculpture, wall-based art, installation, mixed media and print, navigating and holding complex ideas with care and curiosity.
Jo’s art is situated within the relationships between people, plants and the surrounding world, resonating in emotional responses to matter and invisible connections between things.
Kelly explores innovative ways of making with plant based and biodegradable material that lessen harm to the environment, generating a web of care and interconnection between people and planet.
Lydia’s work attunes to place and is formed in response to a close observation of human traces in our landscapes and the gradual decay of post-industrial structures and coastal erosion through the passage of time.
Accompanying the exhibition is a programme of free events and activities, giving power to conscious connections that happen in real time and in person away from our silos and echo chambers. The space is created with mindful attention to nourish and enrich, enabling gathering together for creativity, conversation and contemplation.
