Events at Penwith Gallery

A diverse exhibition of sculptures, ceramics, paintings, drawings, and prints from the Members of The Penwith Society of Arts, St Ives, Cornwall.

Paintings and ceramics that use a vernacular of colours, symbols and patterns that multiple assimilate mythologies from the past and realise them in a visual language of the present.

Narratives are microcosms of collective renewal. We are at once in the middle of the tale with yet unwritten future endings. Stories and tales are compasses, we navigate by them and from them we build an understanding of our lives and the world around us.

In Telling Tales, Deborah Prosser and Delpha Hudson use figurative medieval and classical imagery borrowed from many sources to create a historical-contemporary visual lens to explore women’s lives. They create visual stories in an endlessly inventive way that honours, acknowledges and connects us to the invisible work of women.
