Katrina Palmer : End Matter

26 Apr-28 Jun 2015

Overview

Portland has been shaped and hollowed out over centuries by convicts and quarrymen to provide stone for some of London’s best-known buildings, for example, one million square feet of Portland stone is said to have been quarried for St Paul’s Cathedral. Artist Katrina Palmer has undertaken her own excavations into this elemental island, marked by unsettling absences, deviant goings-on and a writer who has gone missing. A series of narratives set on Portland for listeners, readers and walkers, this is a project in three parts.
