Gail Ritchie Contemporary Art
As part of our QSS 40th Anniversary celebrations, studio member Tim Millen kindly documented each of us in our respective studios, doing what we do. These images were used across social media to highlight all the activities taking place from now until Christmas and include not just the exhibition across two galleries but also talks, workshops and open studio days all of which are open to the public. My contribution was in the form of an essay for the exhibition catalogue. It was an opportunity to reflect (after Virginia Woolf) on what it means to have a studio (or room) of one's own during times of economic and political uncertainty. Next month, I will be part of a panel discussion which will interrogate the relevance of art in the present moment and how doing what we do impacts/collides with/or refuses contemporary geo-political, societal and environmental events. More on this in November. For now, if you are interested in any of our upcoming events, visit www.queenstreetstudios.net/we-are-qss-at-40/ and join in the celebrations! You can read my essay via the PDF link below.
