Re:Connect

Re:Connect reflects on the current circumstances and aims to reconnect us with themes, objects, people and places that are meaningful and may have become distant over the last year. The online exhibition features a range of positive and thoughtful drawings and paintings by 30 SSA members.

“Reconnecting in relation to nature . . . can illustrate the fundamental cause of the ecological (and spiritual) crises we face, it suggests that we are, or can become, disconnected, essentially separate. I would posit that a first move towards healing (for human and non-human) is a kind of remembering, that the connection between humanity and the wider web of life is never really lost . . . I would suggest the reconnection required is to the awareness of our essential connection to all other life, and to the senses of wonder, and longing.” Andrew Phillips, invited artist

This online showcase was selected and curated by SSA council members by Gillian Spanswick and Gillian A McFarland, with invited artist Andrew Phillips.

All the works are available to purchase and are exclusively online.
