The Harley Gallery
24 March 2018 – 30 June 2018
Free Entry
As part of The Grand Tour Season Three, The Harley Gallery has collaborated with British artist Clare Twomey to explore life on the historic Welbeck estate through a series of lithophanes, shedding light on hidden worlds and forgotten processes.
Welbeck is a place of great beauty and history. ‘Half in Shadow: Half in Light’ reflects the life of the Welbeck estate now through a series of images within the lithophanes – these tell the stories of the contemporary life of the estate and those who live there. At the Welbeck estate there is a world that lives in the present and the future. This future is held in a glow of its past. This relationship is where the work ‘Half in Shadow: Half in Light’ has emanated from.
