Find Your Way Back
30 July - 13 August 2022
Reid Gallery, Glasgow

Exhibition Room brought together painting, printmaking, drawing, textiles and performance from 13 artists: Mousa AlNana, Alanna Blake, Louise Emily, Svetoslava Georgieva, Hayley Harman, Claire Kidd, Le Liu, Esyllt A Lewis, Georgie Mac, Niamh McGuinness, Harriet Orrey-Godden, Suri Park Woo and Vivian Ross-Smith.

Exhibiting in a physical space for the first time since studying together on the Mlitt Fine Art Practice at Glasgow School of Art, Room celebrates the experience of collectively returning to the gallery and sharing work with one another after a long period of displacement and distance.

For Room, Vivian Ross-Smith exhibits Find Your Way Back, a work that acknowledges the artists’ conflicted feelings of returning to the gallery. Performance film and ‘wearable artworks’ are shown alongside paintings informed by textile and garment construction. Hung in a meandering installation, viewers are encouraged to experience the artwork in motion.
