An exhibition at Thornton’s South Square Gallery encompasses a series of new large-scale collages draped over beams, hung from walls and lying on the gallery floor.
Bringing together paper images clipped from magazines, drawings from advertisements, personal travel mementoes and staged photographs, artist Samantha Donnelly’s striking collages are placed alongside a scattering of objects that mimic images represented in the collages. Often fake, such as synthetic hair extensions, these objects dramatise “a tension between nostalgia, the relic-like and the throwaway culture of modern consumerism”.
The exhibition runs from April 5 to May 25. For more details, visit southsquarecentre.co.uk.
