Frances Hatch: Drawn to Antarctica 2005-2012
21 April 2012
Brantwood 7pm (talk starts at 7.30pm)
"Antarctica's proximity made itself felt during the two day sea journey across the Antarctic Convergence. The sea temperature dropped suddenly by several degrees and we met cold Antarctic surface water, bringing with it mist, wandering albatrosses and icebergs". In Antarctica Frances glimpsed the opening of a special dimension where a chunk of floating ice might be as big as Belgium or indeed a bus. The artist shares her bewilderment and wonder, the personal challenges and insights gained through her two week visit and subsequent six year studio development.
Tickets cost £5 and includes a glass of wine on arrival. 10% discount for Friends Of Brantwood.
