SUMMARY:SEAMS
DESCRIPTION:SEAMS\, a solo exhibition by Laura Wilson comprises of three installations including a significant new body of work entitled Winding then Winding. Laura is interested in how everyday materials such as bricks\, textile\, wheat\, salt and bread dough transmit historical and embodied knowledge between people over time and place. Laura develops research-led projects\, working with specialists and experts to communicate relationships between materiality\, memory and tacit knowledge\, explored through sculpture\, performance\, drawings and video. This exhibition is a survey of Laura’s recent works connected by the body\, learning\, movement and labour. \nOn the first day of the exhibition (Saturday 1st April) from 1 to 3pm\, artist Laura Wilson will begin weaving a piece of linen with her mother on the loom that forms part of her current exhibition\, SEAMS. Laura’s ancestors on her mother’s side worked in factories in Portadown and Lisburn as weavers\, warpers and yarn winders. Through this live weaving in the gallery space\, Laura is interested in exploring ways information is passed on from one person to another and between generations\, in particular how knowledge can be stored within the body. \nThroughout the run of the exhibition weavers are invited to continue the weaving started by Laura and her mother\, contributing to a collective weaving which will be removed on the last day of the exhibition. If you are a weaver and would like to contribute to the collective weaving please contact info@ccadld.org \nFind out more here. \n  \nImportant dates: \nSEAMS launches on Friday 31 March 2023\, from 7–9pm\n \nThe exhibition runs from the 1st April to the 3rd June. \nUsual opening hours are Tuesday-Saturday\, noon to 6pm. \n  \nImage credits: \nLaura Wilson\, Seams (detail)\, 2023\nImage courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Re-Connected
DESCRIPTION:Re Connected is an exhibition exploring creativity and colour while living with acquired brain injury. \n\n\nRachel Fitzpatrick is a designer and maker working at the interfaces of art\, design and social practice. Re-Connectedexplores the artist’s reconnection with creativity and colour after her recovery from a neurological disorder and learning to live with an acquired brain injury. \n\n\n The exhibition\, running April 20th – May 20th in the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn\, spans two gallery spaces exploring visual elements of Rachel’s rediscovery of her creativity. Her work initially began with making but with an absence of confidence in colour.  The pieces in gallery one explore this reconnection with colour through making\, music and storytelling with some pieces taking inspiration from stories depicted in native folk songs. \n\n\nGallery two includes the installation Re-Framing\, a collaboration between Rachel and participants from local charity Brain Injury Matters NI. Re-Framing charts a cyclical journey of change and transformation after acquired brain injury. \n\n\nOver several months of workshops\, Rachel and the participants worked to develop a way to create origami ‘brains’. The installation is created in an infinity loop of origami brains\, representing a journey of re-framing life after acquired brain injury. Bright colours dominate the final piece\, representing positive memories and experiences\, with green and blue coloured paper suspended on linen thread representing the community formed by Brain Injury Matters. \n\n\nThis exhibition has been kindly supported through funding by the Arts Council NI through the National Lottery. \n\nPreview event:  Tuesday 25 April 2023\, 2 – 4pm \n\n
