Thalheim Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery

| Front Cover of the Exhibition Booklet |
I visited the Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate this week and saw a few exhibitions this one which I got the booklet of the exhibition was particularly unusual. The exhibition is titled Encasement.
This quote by Andrew Dalton from the Ryedale Folk Museum where she first started exhibiting this quote is taken from the exhibition catalogue sums up her work pretty well, 'Her approach deliberately combines seriousness and humour to highlight the conventional nature of our relationship to objects, materials and each other, and to explore the boundaries of these conventions.'
Her work stands out because of her limited colour scheme of black, white and red. Using readymade materials such as tubing, cable ties and rubber mats amongst other things.
Here is a selection of some of the pieces which were in the exhibition.
The image on the left is titled Black Chrysalis and the one on the right is part of Mr Boldwood's Cache.
You've presented this really nicely, you get a feel for the exhibition but I think it could maybe do with a little more evaluation, such as a bit more on your opinion of it, has it affected you at all? Did you like it? etc.
