Deep Time: An Exhibition by Linda Hemmersbach and James Field at Old Bank Residency, Manchester, 20 May–14 June 2019, free entry - Visit now

Deep Time, located in Old Bank Residency’s main exhibition space, Vestibule Gallery, is an exhibition and collaboration between artist Linda Hemmersbach and percussionist James Field, exploring the possibilities of painting through animation, sound, and site-specific installation. Inspired by a recent journey to Assynt in the Scottish Highlands, the works explore notions of geological time and movement of the earth, and ancient landscapes.

Throughout the exhibition, a sense of shifting and moving of elements is implied through the use of multi-part compositional structures and arrangements. Subtle dualities within the work suggest fragmentation and continuity, fluidity and solidity, immediacy and the ungraspable, evoking a psychological and atmospheric space.
