by the way

14 Mar-24 Mar 2019

Overview

The group of seven artists and one writer showing at Lewisham Arthouse in March all make work that emerges from an engagement with the landscapes they inhabit and move through. Often this engagement begins with an unexpected encounter that demands attention. It may be the sight of a single lit window in a darkened cul de sac or a gnarled piece of wood that assumes the shape of a figure. These incidental encounters and others like them have opened up new ways of working for the artists showing together in by the way. Through the diverse media of photography, performance, poetry, sculpture, printmaking and painting they have shaped and grown work out of these encounters.
