Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery presents Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us, an exhibition of the artist’s drawings and prints spanning the last ten years.
This is Griffiths’ first major institutional show and it emphasises the artist’s collaborative approach, one that has led to working with poets, musicians, biophysicists, astronomers, physicists and engineers. The results are abstract, monochrome works, very often created in the process of applying layer upon layer of graphite to a surface and polishing it to a mirror sheen before cutting linear forms into it. Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us also includes a specially commissioned large-scale wall drawing and artworks selected by the artist from the University of Leeds’ Cultural Collections.
Griffiths is a Gatneby Fellow at the University of Leeds, an Honorary Fellow of Manchester Art University and her work is in collections of the Arts Council, The Turnpike, The Whitworth, Manchester Art Gallery and she has created numerous commissions, most notably a large-scale wall installation permanently installed at the National Graphene Institute.
