(Of) Bath MMXXII - a group exhibition by Rich Stapleton and JAMESPLUMB, at Francis Gallery. This exhibition shows a series of my photographs taken over the course of a decade living in Bath — a view on the relationship between memory and physical place. Each photograph is a single edition, hand printed and mounted in an antique frame. An except from the exhibition text: “The tension between the real and the remembered is captured in this series of images by photographer Rich Stapleton, gathered over the course of a decade living in the city. On reviewing his archive after having moved to Los Angeles, Stapleton saw the images in a new light. Blurring, marks, and flares indicated time worn damage – but the disorienting quality now yielded its own aesthetic. The photographs revealed a different city from the one he had associated with home: instead, he saw a city transformed by time and distance” The photographs are presented alongside sculptural works by JAMESPLUMB — on view at Francis Gallery, Bath, until 10 September. A special thanks to Elliott Smedley, for the curation of the show.
