Lindsey Mendick @ Space Studios, Ilford

Lindsey Mendick was selected through an open call for a commissioned solo exhibition, Regrets, I’ve had a few that launches SPACE’s new gallery. As part of the commission, she will lead a series of ceramic workshops for Ilford’s +65s .

Lindsey creates installations centred on her skilled work in ceramics and includes banner painting, sewing, metalwork, furniture making and sound. Her autobiographical works are often confessional, referencing the horrors and emotions of adolescence while narrating her experience as a female artist. Drawing from classical painting, mythical women and pop culture iconography, her gothic-like work tells a defiant story that is at once both vulnerable and resilient.
