Lovely exhibition in
the RSC - Artist Susan Stockwell takes over the Royal Shakespeare
Theatre foyers and gallery with a new exhibition inspired by the
Summer 2015 season of plays and the world of 16th century Venice.
The artsist has responded to the plays Othello and The
Merchant of Venice, exploring themes of identity, migration and
trade. The exhibition includes a spectacular installation of sails, a series of
quilts and textiles pieces and a flotilla of boats made from paper currency
from around the world.
Susan says: 'Working as artist in residence at
the RSC has been insightful, inspirational and enjoyable. Witnessing the inside
workings of the organisation has revealed a very collaborative process,
different to the visual artists' practice which tends to be more solitary. It
has been a great opportunity to push my work further and explore Shakespeare's
language to make new art which I hope will surprise and intrigue visitors.'
