Rebecca Louise Law:
Seasons
 

A journey through nature

18 May 2021 – 30 August 2021

Seasons ran from 18 May 2021 – 30 August 2021.

Filling our largest gallery space, Seasons was a stunning site-specific installation created for Compton Verney by Rebecca Louise Law.

About the
exhibition

The artwork was composed of approximately 250,000 dried flowers suspended from the ceiling on copper wire, and included hundreds of daffodils foraged from our grounds. An immersive sensory journey through a British year in nature.

Rebecca Louise Law has created ambitious artworks with natural materials across the globe, most recently at The Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, Skovaard Museum, Denmark, Chandran Gallery, San Francisco and the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Seasons represents the culmination of a period spent in the UK during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, during which time Law has been immersed in the natural world around her home in Snowdonia.

The installation was complemented by a display of Law’s natural weaves, paintings, sculptures and nature diaries. Alongside a display of nature diaries kept by the local community and school groups who were involved in the creation of the installation.
