'Stopping to Notice' is an exhibition of work by 21 different artists who have all responded to observations made by award-winning author Miranda Keeling. Miranda’s writing invites us to join her on a journey to discover the magic, humour, strangeness and beauty of everyday experiences. Life is happening all around us, yet we often let those moments pass by, distracted by our phones or lost in our thoughts. What if we took a moment to slow down, open our eyes, and truly see? Every piece of art in this exhibition was sent to Miranda, unasked for, simply because the artist wanted to respond to her words. Most of the artists who sent her their work had no idea that anyone else was doing it. Each one is totally different in style from the others; the images are poignant, beautiful, odd and surprising and are painted, drawn, and digitally made. Together they create a wonderful tapestry of the unsung moments of everyday life.
The show is curated by Miranda Keeling. 20% of sales made will be donated to the charity BookTrust.
