Laura Aldridge & others @ Kate Macgarry

Things that soak you, is an exhibition of four contemporary artists: Laura Aldrige’s work balances painting and sculpture, a state of stasis and mobility; Rana Begum’s work is characterized by the interplay of dense, industrial materials and the impression of weightlessness; Francis Upritchard experiments with the theme of display, creating installations featuring archetypal figures, which draw on the gothic tradition as well as contemporary folk and psychedelia; and Bethan Laura Wood’s designs – spanning furniture, glass, jewellery and sculpture – are a riotous culmination of colour, humour and materiality.
