FieldWork

Seeking & investigating; searching & finding; assembling & combining; wrapping & binding. These are some of the activities undertaken by artist group haptic/tacit. FieldWork describes their process of active research, analytical and methodical, exploring and learning, out and about in their surroundings. What they make is based on close observation. But it is also crafted from what they find and discover. Through deep concentration and attention to detail, they reveal what normally goes un-noticed.

haptic/tacit is a cooperative of artists who invite new collaborators each time they exhibit. Like GroundWork Gallery they aim to make art from the environment and about the environment.

For FieldWork, the original members Jane Cairns, Kim Norton and Grant Aston have invited Nicky Hirst, Annie Woodford and Robert Cooper to collaborate and show with them.

The exhibition will feature sculpture, assemblages, images: works made in clay, wood, found china fragments, earth, photography. A special text is being commissioned from writer and film-maker, John Rogers, author of This Other London.

Chris Drury’s Spore Print ‘Dust to Dust’ will remain painted on the wall in the shadowy background of the exhibition.
