Penny Goring @ Arcadia Missa

Penny Goring’s, No Escape from Blood Castle, is the second iteration of this body of work; the first of which was entitled Escape from Blood Castle.

Goring makes drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, and poems that access recurring personal trauma visions, and by layering these with grief, anxiety, imagination and rage, the subsequent invented mythologies become explorations of the contemporary state of emergency – where violence is commonplace, structural, intimate, where loss of freedoms is forgotten or keenly lamented, and there is no rescue or escape.
