This collaborative exhibition was the culmination of six months of conversations and making with artist and friend, Amelia Frances Wood. We shared thoughts, reading and ideas with each other around wildness, joy in haptic making, intuition, symbolism, clay and connection to landscape. The title of the show references signs that are often seen on roads in rural places, where cars pause and pass each other. We decided against individually titling the works and instead saw the entire space as one piece in itself. The show was accompanied by a soundscape created by Pete Cox, which aimed to create the atmospheric sounds of being inside a cave. Our friend, K Ross Walker, also wrote a poem in response to the show which was recorded and offered as an audio description of the works and Ronnie Danaher created a video documenting the exhibition.
This project was kindly funded through a Leeds Inspired grant. Our thanks also to Holly Grange for writing a review of the show for Corridor 8.
