The SNAPPING TO THE PAUSE exhibition has now concluded

Recently we have all largely lived our lives online. We have avoided human touch for fear of viral infection. We have become accustomed to Zooming, click and collect, contactless, sanitised interactions. An unseen threat has forced us to ‘unsee’ one another.

We all held our breath in this city as we endured 263 days of lockdown. After the “Great Pause” some of us tried to forget, others tried to adapt but all of us were altered. These two artists have responded to bring something solid and tangible from this hardship, to pull their thoughts down from the cloud to the ground and turn pixels to paper.
