Alone Together Art Exhibition

Alone Together Art Exhibition at Canwood Gallery by Leonie Bradley, Jess Bugler and Prerna Chandiramani.

Alone Together is an exhibition exploring aloneness with an immersive, hanging print installation at its centre. The artist collective, SPIKED, starting working together in lockdown and through their shared frustration began to consider aloneness as a spectrum with isolation at one end and solitude at the other. Solitude is a positive state of aloneness that many choose to seek out.

Each artist responds differently to the emotions along the spectrum. Their responses are interwoven but individual: Bugler using the theme of wooded enclosures; Bradley, the symbolism of keys; and, Chandiramani, language and folding. The installation itself forms a curved line with the artworks creating an enclosure that can be entered and viewed from inside.

SPIKED is an artists’ collective creating installations to explore communication and memory. The artists have each been awarded the Peter Reddick Bursary for Innovation in Relief Printmaking at Spike Print Studio, Bristol. This project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
