PLANTWORKS
A Factory As It Might Be
EXHIBITION
Wednesday 5 April - Sunday 21 May 2017
A site specific intervention of cardboard plant-machines and 2D counterparts by artist Clare Mitten.
The artist Clare Mitten’s reimagining of A Factory As it Might Be – William Morris’s vision for how beautiful factories would act as centres of education and creativity – is influenced by Victorian science fiction and bio-inspired technology.
PLANTWORKS explores the relationship of Morris to industrial manufacturing through drawings and paintings of plant specimens, translated into a collection of cardboard models, before transforming back into 2D motifs.
PLANTWORKS is generously supported by the Arts Council and Bow Arts Trust.
