Gin Dunscombe and Edori Fertig
Reconstructions

24 – 28 November

Private View Thursday 23 November 6-8pm

Memory and narrative are key themes for both Edori Fertig and Gin Dunscombe. This show, which combines interactive installation, assemblage and wall based images, explores diverse interpretations of history.

Edori Fertig is an artist who pays tribute to lost histories by combining print, painting and carving in delicate and haunting assemblages.  She purposefully uses found and discarded objects such as old photographs, wallpapers, and textiles to create a story or feeling.  Her Memory Trains use these and other images to explore the experiences of refugees affected by world events who are forced to carry their home with them.  By elevating the ordinary to a higher status, the often overlooked achieves a new beauty and dignity. A graduate of Camberwell MA Printing, Edori Fertig has exhibited widely in the USA, UK and Europe.

Gin Dunscombe is a conceptual artist whose work
challenges the role of artefacts in interpretations of history. Working with found images to explore the selectivity of memory and interrogate its basis, she plays with notions of time by juxtaposing elements which do not normally occur together. She blurs distinctions between archive, memory and imagination. Her installation The Post Room gives viewers the opportunity to write the letter they have always wished they’d written. She has exhibited in mixed shows in the UK, France and Japan.
