Eleanor Watson
In The First Place, 2013
Eleanor Watson’s exhibition IN THE FIRST PLACE at The Foundry Gallery is her first solo exhibition of paintings, which will explore ideas surrounding travel and home. The work tells disjointed stories with the understanding that the further and wider you travel the more you understand the shores left behind; returning home with borrowed culture and history. But the paradox here is that all the images are pilfered from the Internet or glossy magazines, so perhaps the artist is none the wiser.
