On Friday 17th April we celebrated the launch of a new solo exhibition at the Hidden Wardrobe on Old Northam Road by Anjella Stevenson.

In case you missed the launch event on Friday 17th April, you can watch the full exhibition video guide on the ‘a space’ arts Youtube Channel.

Anjella’s practice is driven by a deep concern for global issues such as food insecurity and deforestation. She is a photographer interested in raising awareness about climate change and promoting sustainable practice. Her work often contains art historical references or delicate depictions of the
natural world.

“In this composition of cables and photos, I hope to illuminate the dichotomy between nature and technology: it seems that they compete for humanity’s attention, prompting a reflection on the delicate balance between progress and preservation.

Trees are often a symbol of nature, but in this case, its branches and leaves have been replaced by the cables and screens that have taken over our lives. As the modern world evolves, such technology often overshadows the earth’s natural beauty, or even, stand in its place. It is important to recognise how innovation, while important, can distract us from protecting our natural environment and understand what it might mean for the next generation.

[eco]SYSTEM was on display in the windows of the Hidden Wardrobe from Friday 17th May until Sunday 16th June.
