Curated by Brenda McParland

These Magnetic Magnitudes is a solo exhibition of new works of painting, textiles, ceramics and film by Cecilia Danell, curated by Brenda McParland. In a practice which is rooted in materiality and process, the starting point for Danell’s work is a first-hand engagement with the landscape in the area of Sweden where she grew up. The experience of traversing the landscape, along with the physical process of engaging with materials in the studio, results in works that exist between realism and abstraction, utilising fiction and the imaginary to speak about the present and possible futures.

On 14 June, join Cecilia Danell in an informal walkthrough of ‘These Magnetic Magnitudes’ with Brenda McParland at Solstice Arts Centre as they discuss the exhibition and Cecilia’s approach to making new large-scale paintings, textile wall hangings, ceramic sculptures and film.

A hardcover catalogue will follow the exhibition with texts by Aidan Dunne and Charity Coleman.
