Lindsey Mendick : Regrets, I've Had a Few

8 Dec 2019-28 Mar 2020

Overview

Commissioned solo exhibition exploring hindsight, nostalgia and storytelling through ceramics and textiles. This is the first exhibition to launch SPACE’s new gallery in Ilford. Lindsey Mendick (b. 1987 lives and works in London) creates installations centred on her skilled work in ceramics and includes banner painting, sewing, metalwork, furniture making and sound. Her autobiographical works are often confessional, referencing the horrors and emotions of adolescence while narrating her experience as a female artist. Drawing from classical painting, mythical women and pop culture iconography, her gothic-like work tells a defiant story that is at once both vulnerable and resilient.
