Kelly Richardson: Leviathan
The Amelia Scott Centre
Mon 15th May 2023
A large-scale triple screen immersive video installation by the artist Kelly Richardson.
A large-scale triple screen immersive video installation by the artist Kelly Richardson.
The work draws on Richardson's distinct art practice which focusses on ideas around conservation and a careful observation of the effects of humanity on the planet. She films the bald cypress trees, indigenous to Caddo Lake in Uncertain, Texas, and manipulates the footage, creating a series of twisting, snake-like tendrils of yellowish light in the water with an eerie soundtrack replacing the sounds of nature.
The staging of Leviathan at The Amelia Scott comes at a significant time historically, in reflection of growing global climate concerns and places Tunbridge Wells once again at the centre of environmental and conservation debates.
