Material Matters artist Patric Rogers launches his latest solo exhibition, VESSELS, at Bridewell Studios on Saturday 14 November, bringing the ambitious four-part TRANSMISSIONS programme to a close.
Opening on Saturday 14 November, VESSELS presents a collection of sculptural works and installations exploring the relationship between consciousness, imagination and the physical world.
The exhibition marks the final chapter of TRANSMISSIONS, a collaborative programme of four exhibitions featuring artists Silvia Battista, John Elcock, Angelo Madonna and Patric Rogers. Each artist has approached the overarching theme of transmission through their own distinctive practice.
For VESSELS, Rogers explores the possibility that ideas exist before they find physical form, and that artists themselves might act as vessels through which these ideas enter the world.
The exhibition unfolds across three interconnected spaces: Matter, Vessel and Passage. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, Rogers invites audiences to engage with the work through their own experiences, interpretations and conversations.
"These works have occupied my thoughts for years. Some arrived almost fully formed, while others emerged slowly, changing as I attempted to make them real. I cannot claim to fully understand everything I have created, but each piece has been made with care, respect and honesty.
"What interests me is what happens when these ideas leave my hands and enter the consciousness of someone else. The work changes through that encounter. In a sense, the transmission continues."
The exhibition opens with a private view on Saturday 14 November, 6–9pm, and continues until Sunday 22 November, with gallery opening hours of 12–4pm.
