Fay Ballard and Judy Goldhill: Breathe

16 May-18 Jul 2018

Freud Museum London
London NW3 5SX

Overview

Curated by Caroline Garland, psychoanalyst BREATHE presents two thought-provoking contemporary artists, Fay Ballard and Judy Goldhill, who both explore the central theme of parental loss throughout their practice. Breath, and the act of breathing, permeate the work of both artists, consciously and unconsciously, referencing not only personal loss, but also life as a creative force - Fay through drawing; Judy through photography, film and artist’s books. This exhibition examines the work of these two captivating artists as an excavation into their traumatic losses, and considers the reparative function of personal, and wider, creativity.
