Press release

‘Alien Shores’ explores landscape as a place of memory, imagination, yearning and belonging. Through painting, video, photography and sculpture, it offers speculative, symbolic or surreal depictions of emotional terrain and voyages of the imagination; visions of the distant past or possible futures. These are landscapes once removed: shaped by emotional distance, filtered through technology, mythology or abstraction. In a time of ecological crisis and accelerating technological evolution, the once-familiar ground beneath us feels increasingly unstable. The artists included in ‘Alien Shores’ envision landscape as a space of inquiry - where physical geography gives way to metaphorical, psychological, philosophical and futuristic realms. These worlds reflect both our alienation from nature and our enduring need to locate ourselves within it.
