Colorful mixed-media collage composed of layered paper, fabric, and found materials arranged on a flat surface. The piece includes stitched elements, cut-out photographs, handwritten dates (“1966,” “1992,” “1996”), and fragments of printed text such as “you are not falling behind” and “hope.” A small blue-bound booklet, red textured panels, safety pins, beads, and ribbon bows create a dense, tactile composition. Various black-and-white images—eyes, a hand, and a lightning scene—are interspersed across bright red, green, yellow, and purple shapes.

EXHIBITION: DESIRE PATHS

SAT 18 & SUN 19 JUL,
FREE

Join us at the SLG for an afternoon of art, discussion, creative activities and live performance.

The SLG’s youth collective, Art Assassins, have worked with artist Halina Edwards to develop their sense of where they are now, where they want to go, and where they want to take the art world.

Desire Paths, the exhibition, is the culmination of this 9-month journey together.

SUPPORT THE SLG

Several people stand in a dark room facing a wall illuminated by vivid projected light patterns. One person holds up a small light source, interacting with swirling pink, orange, purple, and blue visuals that resemble flames or colored smoke. The participants appear in silhouette against the bright display, creating the impression of an interactive light or digital art installation. A doorway with a green-lit exit sign is visible on the left side of the room.

Support the SLG’s programme for children, families and young people by donating today.

Any donation you give goes towards keeping the gallery and its activities free and helps us to realise our ambition for contemporary art to be accessible to all.
