‘Walking the Water’s Edge’ is a group show from four artists working across sculpture, photography, moving image and text. The works presented in the show take individual yet intertwined views of the river and the larger impact of humans on their environment. Each of these projects immerse the viewer in unfamiliar spaces and textures, inviting them to rethink the way they view a plastic bag blowing down the street, the forgotten spaces they pass on their daily routine or the tucked away patches of nature growing out of distinctly unnatural places.

Exhibiting Artists:

Patrick Flannery Walker is an artist and filmmaker. Documenting the landscapes that he passes through, Patrick is drawn to cities, the natural world and the people who occupy them. He consistently explores subjects on municipal growth, decay, social stratification and trade. These topics convey both the grit and the glamour that colours the fabric of our world in its current state. Patrick’s motives are drawn from his passion to unearth scenes of beauty away from our structured pathways.

Gösta Marsden is an interdisciplinary maker with a focus on exploring, recording and imagining. Gösta turns their view towards the unsung folk, flora and fauna which present an alternate route to follow. In this work they focus on intrinsic value of abandoned spaces to our urban world, rather than happenstance and accident, documenting a group a specific sites each with a relation to another exploited body, the river.

Gribaudi Plytas is an artistic partnership that works in mixed media. They recycle their past work, collect, exchange and archive. The work ingurgitates life infused with capitalist ideals and regurgitates a distorted version of it.
