Details:

Beginning with the story of Percival Farrington, a nineteenth Century naturalist from Oldham, artists
Richard Dawson and Jacqui Symons present a series of works exploring climate change, the Era of the Anthropocene and humankind’s relationship to the natural world. Each artist explores these themes from an individual perspective and the exhibition incorporates a wide range of media including print, sculpture and installation to present a thought-provoking and engaging show that is the first of its kind for Gallery Oldham.

The exhibition will feature a selection of new works including a recreation of Farrington’s study, a stone from the beginning of time that fits perfectly into the palm of your hand, a 21st century tree-drawing machine and the Dove Stone Seed Vault.
