I Dreamed Another's Dream. A group exhibition by Lally MacBeth, Matthew Shaw and Penny MacBeth

This exhibition brings together new work from Lally MacBeth, Matthew Shaw and Penny MacBeth exploring portals, labyrinths and mazes. Many years ago, Matthew met a man who told him he had dreamed another’s dream at the top of Silbury Hill. Dreams roam the ancient landscape, they pour from the earth and interweave with the stones. 

Penny, Lally and Matthew set out to explore ways of tapping into other realms and ways of being. Travelling to the centre of the ancient landscape and examining its portals from miz mazes in Winchester to holed stones in Cornwall. Along the way they discovered strange characters and creatures.  

These ancient landscapes and beings have inspired a series of mixed media works including collages, paintings, music, costumes and photography that come together to form a dreamscape of someone else’s making. Perhaps it is yours? Perhaps it is the person standing behind you? Perhaps it's from the future? Or the very ancient past. There is no way of knowing. 

Lally MacBeth, Matthew Shaw and Penny MacBeth are artists working in Cornwall. Penny makes music and costumes for the progressive morris side The WAD. Lally and Matthew co-founded Stone Club, a club for stone enthusiasts.

Everyone is welcome to join us for the opening celebration and to meet the artists at 5pm - 7pm on Friday 1st May.

The exhibition is open Thursday-Saturdays 10am- 5pm, additionally Sunday 4th May, and other times by appointment.
