CHILDREN'S GALLERY

A CHILD'S EYES: VAN SOWERWINE

Van Sowerwine is a multi-disciplinary artist who works with video, photography, sound, installation and sculpture. She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally including Art Cologne and the ICA in London and had work screened in the Sundance Film Festival, USA. A Child’s Eyes presents a selection of her work exploring the state of childhood using tableaux, diorama, interactivity and the moving image.

Sowerwine’s works examine the polarities of human behaviour via the context of childhood play. Her characters innocently move through the world, negotiating the real and imagined, the seen and unseen. Viewers are invited to interact with the works offering an alternative engagement with childhood memory, our physical and social environments and our innate desire to play.
