Shopwork: Uncertain Objects Part 1

There is a point during its making where the driving force in the creation of an artwork becomes the work itself.  Decisions shuttle back and forth with determination, evolving through a stuttering dialogue that is linguistic, material and uncertain.

Uncertain Objects Part 1 brings together new work by 18 artists with interests as varied as folklore, industrial decay, pop culture and ornithology; their work resonates with a poetry that emerges through the complex act of finding form.  

The exhibition is hosted in a shop on Frome's most historic shopping street.  Awaiting its next chapter, the interior reveals a layered history of commerce and architecture stretching back to the 16th Century.
