Bethan Huws : Capelgwyn

29 Jan-18 Mar 2011

Whitechapel Gallery
London E1 7QX

Overview

From a tiny sailing boat made from a single reed to raising half the Gallery’s floor by 17.5cm, Welsh artist Bethan Huws is interested in subtly altering our experience of spaces to create sites for contemplation. She works with watercolour, drawings, wall texts, installation, sculpture and film to make unexpected links to our experiences of daily life. Her own personal memories and cultural identity are at the heart of her poetic works of art. Titling the exhibition Capelgwyn, literally Whitechapel in Welsh, is a way of bringing her individual history into the show.
