  • Still Here, Susan Laughton | Blank Media Collective @ greenroom

    Still Here, Susan Laughton | Blank Media Collective @ greenroom

    Blank Media Collective launches their new season of exhibitions at Susan Laughton.

    Still Here is an exploration of marks, signs and symbols, searching for order, balance and control in a chaotic visual world. Landscape is the starting point, not as a picturesque or nostalgic view, but as a space travelled through and experienced often on the edges of the urban and the rural. It is a source of manmade and natural structures, surfaces and colour that allows the artist to construct her own pared-down responses.
