Space and Shadows by Leena Batchelor
Sunday 10 – Saturday 23 April | The Commandery
An exhibition of original poetry and photography exploring the theme of Space and Shadows. Presented by Leena Batchelor, The Commandery Poet in Residence, the collection explores the hidden spaces within, and stories behind, this beautiful building.
“In creating this collection, I have explored witches’ marks with my fingertips, heard echoes in the shadows, and walked with ghosts.
Space and shadows also allow us time for reflection, a sorely needed activity in our busy lives. In the photographs and accompanying poems, I have alluded to the layers of life which have existed (and indeed within shade continue to co-exist) in this enigmatic space, allowing the viewer the freedom to examine their own emotions and thought-patterns.” – Leena Batchelor.
