Reflections in Shadows is the result of a collaboration between two RIPE alumni: Mandy Smith and Jenny Andrews.
Over the past year, the two artists have undergone a process of learning new skills while also exploring the commonalities in their practices. This has resulted in a joint interest in space and, specifically, their relation to it as older women.
“This exhibition is a testing performance space for our new experimental works. Through the use of both traditional and experimental glass making techniques, we have created two distinct installations that playfully investigate light and space: one that interacts with the constant shifting of natural sunlight; while the other comes alive after the sun sets, though the use of carefully placed lights.”
Reflections in Shadows will be on display in the windows of the Hidden Wardrobe from Friday 1st November until Sunday 8th December 2024 and is free to visit.
Join us for the launch event on Friday 1st November, 6pm - 8pm over at the Hidden Wardrobe, Old Northam Road.
