Peter Scott Gallery
Price: Free
Becoming Rock offers a deeply personal perspective on our 2025 theme of Land, exploring the artist's landscape based responses to two recent major life-events: a radical hysterectomy resulting in surgical menopause and breast cancer which led to multiple surgeries.
Through photography, film, prints, and experimental drawings, Louise Ann Wilson documents her experiences within rocky landscapes chosen for their physical, psychological, and metaphorical resonance, and encourages us to relate our own life experiences, whatever they may be, to the landscape.
Responding to her cancer diagnosis, the artist seeks out boulders where she films and photographs her body, making connections between the calcium rich limestone landscape and the 'calcification' occurring within her own tissue.
Experiences of radical hysterectomy are sited in the dramatic slate-quarried landscapes of the Lake District, drawing parallels between the surgically quarried body and quarried land. A series of site-specific walks explore the effects of menopause using a process of walking and menopause map-drawing.
Content warning: Please note this exhibition contains images relating to surgical procedures.
Join us for our Season Celebration on Tuesday 11 November at 5.30pm in the Peter Scott Gallery and hear from Louise herself about her work.
Louise will facilitate a creative drawing/mapping workshop aimed at women wanting to explore experiences of health related life-events on Tuesday 11 November, 3-5pm.
