Exhibition Tour of “The Encirclement of Space”

Join the Williamson's curator Niall Hodson for a guided tour of the exhibition and discover more about the artist's ideas and techniques. About the exhibition: “The Encirclement Of Space” charts the influence of Lace on Michael Brennand-Wood’s work from the earliest examples made as a student in the 1970’s to his most recent commission. The exhibition contains the largest collection of his lace works ever shown together, representing all stages of his lace research. Many of the works are of a very large scale, in a wide range of media: paper, fabric, thread, metal, mosaic, wood, slate, wax and resin. The works are monumental, exploratory and designed to challenge our perception of what we understand and associate with lace.
