Venetia Nevill creates multi-sensory and interactive installations that act as a pathway to healing through a reconnection with nature. Her practice draws on ritual, astrology and a sensory connection with nature.
We belong to the Earth is a result of the artist’s ongoing exploration into the stillness within and around us. The healing powers of a local spring flow through many of Nevill’s works and are shared through a sensory mandala at the heart of the exhibition. Her ‘night vision paintings’ on the other hand are witnesses of the inner resources that aid the alchemising of pain into a source of peace.
An installation of small clay vessels formed around cedar cones was co-created with family and friends, each vessel holding individual expressions of unmet needs. Together they become a Mandala of Hope with clay connecting the human spirit with the natural world, and the cedar tree offering healing, protection and abundance.
Private View: Thursday 3 October, 6-8pm
Closing Event: Tuesday 8 October, 6-8pm
Venetia Nevill creates sensory and experiential work to express an intuitive, visceral connection with the world. Tapping into the felt and unseen, she is inspired by the cyclical rhythms of nature, her ecologically in formed artworks focusing on transformation and reclamation. By bringing art created and inspired by nature into a gallery, she hopes to continue the cycle by encouraging people to engage with nature in a new light. Since receiving a BA with Honours from the University of Kent, she has exhibited and performed widely with her work held in private collections worldwide.
