For this exhibition Neild and Brown have come together to explore the oscillation between dwelling and snare, nurturing and spoiling— shelters that invite entry, while warning against enclosure, a place of sanctuary whilst recognising the continual exploitation of the earth.  Neild’s sculptures are cast into enduring materials, interrogating the desire to protect the self, even at the cost of freedom. Thorned sanctuaries become both intimate retreats and cautionary enclosures, meditating on the tension between belonging and autonomy. Brown’s works use the materials of the land, gathered, cut and stitched together to honour the toil and labour of the fields and the hands that have fashioned the earth. Intensely fragile and constantly changing these works tell the stories held within the soil.
