Meadowsweet Palisade presents a bricolage of sculpture, textiles and narrative film. The exhibition reflects on the power of withdrawal and rural peripheries to create spaces of introspection and renewal. Shells become mouthpieces for metabolising grief and hollowed trees are used to shelter and avoid perception. DIY filmmaking subverts capitalist modes of production, using sci-fi and fantasy tropes to mythologise the landscape of contemporary rural Wales.

About the artists

Jenő Davies (b 1997) is a multidisciplinary artist from West Wales. They make sculptures and films that compound fantasy with tangible realities. Impulse informs handmade responses to an experience of the periphery that embraces the twee, the chaotic and the conflictual.

Iolo Walker (b 1997) is an artist from Newham. They make eco/social art about the poetics and politics of the home. Queer culture is referenced through textiles, casting, DIY cinema and workshops, to create new connections between gentrification, Gnosticism and the umwelt.
