Claire Cansick: You and I Are Earth
Claire Cansick鈥檚 (b.1971) new exhibition, You and I Are Earth (14 October 2023 鈥� 14 April 2024) at Firstsite in Colchester鈥� her first in a public gallery - acts as a stark reminder of the increasingly damaging effects of climate change.
After a summer scarred by wildfires across Europe and North America, accompanied by record temperatures and floods in countries across the globe, Firstsite鈥檚 presentation of Cansick鈥檚 exhibition is especially poignant.
Featuring over 40 artworks, it is the culmination of a project the Norfolk-based artist began in 2022, intending to chart climate change-related weather events. Firstsite is showing the entire collection of paintings in chronological order, with patterns of weather moving sequentially across the artworks. In so doing, an emerging repetition and rhythm becomes apparent.
