Grace Wood, There Are No New Waves, Only Ocean

LON Gallery is pleased to present Grace Wood's second solo exhibition with the gallery, There Are No New Waves, Only Ocean.

In the exhibition, Wood responds to the particularities of 2020, creating spliced visual metaphors that reflect upon heightened interest in ideas around illness and viruses. Exploring the semantic multiplicity of terms such as ‘waves’ and ‘second wave’, Wood draws analogy between ideas of contagion and the natural world to demonstrate the power of both as forces that engulf and drown.
