Grace Wood: Petal as Pixel
Petal as Pixel draws on an enduring fascination with Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), reimagining its themes of seduction, excess, and latent violence through a contemporary lens. Comprising over 80 works, the exhibition centres on a large suspended mobile of mirrored surfaces, chains, and collaged imagery, precariously assembled in situ. As elements shift, reflections fragment and multiply, enveloping the viewer in a disorienting visual field.
