Nellie & Sharon Peoples invite you to a special Artist Tour of their exhibition Propagate in the Webb Gallery, QCA.
Propagate examines the everydayness, the labour and social relationships of gardens, through small objects and drawings relating to the body. Nellie & Sharon Peoples begin with an individual dialogue between landscapes and their practices as makers. These conversations evolve within their own work, as well as with one another. They exchange ideas as they would cuttings from their gardens. These conversations plant seeds of ideas into one another’s design thinking. In the work of gardens, seeds are gathered, root production is divided and encouraged, and cuttings are taken. There are as many complex processes that can be employed to increase the number of plants, as there are in these artists’ individual making practices.
Propagate shares the practice of creativity, cultivating ideas and sparking curiosity using the garden space as a conduit for stories, memories and connectednes.
