Lynne Roberts-Goodwin: Balancing Acts: The world standing on its head

Balancing Acts by Lynne Roberts-Goodwin draws on multiple levels of vertical space, from the solidity of the ground to the vast atmospheric expanse above, physically and emotionally. Through images of intense sparks of lightning to the folds of fallen parachutes, these works interrogate the tenuous equilibrium between stability and flux, anchoring and drifting, orientation and disorientation, beauty and terror, presence and absence, and challenge how we understand and measure verticality, and negotiate transitions between control and chaos – the presence of bare feet entangled in deflated chute material exposes our vulnerabilities as well as our strengths.

Opening event: Saturday 7 June, 4-6pm
