Viewing Homesick at the Sarabande Foundation

Sarabande Foundation’s annual celebratory exhibition to mark International Women’s Day is always a highlight at this time of year, bringing together resident artists from the Foundation’s studios. This year’s exhibition presents eleven Sarabande artists in an exhibition exploring notions of ‘home’.

Titled Homesick, the show considers the way home may be something in constant flux, a state of perpetual building and rebuilding, not a fixed idea or place. Conversations about home in relation to queerness, nomadism, and post-humanism naturally break with conventional interpretations of the domestic space and its artistic representation, sparking new conversations.

Highlights include Kasia Wozniak’s wet plate collodion photographs, dreamy and otherworldly contemplations of nostalgia and time, Bex Massey’s paintings of everyday objects and items drawn from childhood, reflecting on how our surroundings reflect values – or might hijack them – and Helena Lacy’s beautiful ceramic pieces, which look to nature for grounding.
