Simple Truths - an art exhibition
WILD dads curated Simple Truths, an art exhibition held at The Exchange Art Space in Penzance.
“We chose the cement mixer... you can see the light around the rim of it and it's like the light at the end of the tunnel of parenting... like with teething, there is light at the end of the tunnel."
WILD dads curated Simple Truths, an art exhibition held at The Exchange Art Space in Penzance.
The artworks for Simple Truths were chosen by dads from the WILD allotment.
On each visit to the allotment The Exchange asked our dads group to select an artwork from the Arts Council Collection catalogues. The dads marked their choices with a Post-it note and a line about why they’d chosen it. The chosen artwork reflected how the dads were feeling in that moment, a past experience or future ambitions.
Over a brew, the dads talked about their choices which often provided the starting point for personal reflections around mental health or what was happening in their lives in that moment.
