STUDIO DOCUMENTARY
A studio documentary filmed whilst working towards Sarah Poland’s 2023 solo exhibition at Elysium Gallery, Swansea, UK.
Silence - The Messenger And The Metaphor grown over five years, is a large exhibition which has five main parts, spanning four gallery spaces, each evoking a sense of time.
Part of the process is working with seasons and cycles, of nature and of my own. Some processes take days, weeks, months, years even, and in that, a deeper sense of time is engendered. Much of the work was made simultaneously.
Silence - The Messenger And The Metaphor was generously supported with a Create Grant from Arts Council Wales and National Lottery UK.
