A Day In The Life takes its inspiration from the newest addition to the Williamson’s collection: Grayson Perry’s ‘Six Snapshots of Julie’, a set of prints capturing moments from the life of the artist’s fictional everywoman, Julie Cope.
The pictures accompanying Perry’s prints in this display likewise show ordinary people – individuals, couples, families, friends – going about their everyday lives in the places they live, work, and visit on holiday.
Although the subject matter is ordinary, many of these pictures are extraordinary and absorbing, capturing the fleeting events, situations, and emotions we experience every day. They are snapshots of the moments of happiness, sadness, boredom, and contemplation that make up our daily lives.
Open Wednesday & Thursday 10:30-5, Friday 10:30-9 and Saturday 10-4:30
