Howarth Art Gallery- Transcending Perceptions

After speaking with a friend about my work, she recommended an exhibition that is currently being displayed at Howarth Art Gallery in Accrington. As this gallery is quite small and I have never heard of it showing contemporary pieces, I was slightly skeptical about going.

When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised about the work exhibited, as it was in similar media to the work I am currently producing myself (film, sound and installation). 

I was interested in the mix between old and new. A contemporary exhibition in old fashioned rooms, and thought this was really different from the norm at this particular gallery. 

The piece that most inspired me and caught my eye was this installation piece. The artist has used light and projected it onto cellophane that is wrapped around a metal frame. I liked the face that I could walk into the installation. I feel this relates to the idea I have for my 'cage' installation.
