Rozanne Hawksley 'Offerings' at Mission Gallery

Gallery Talk 2pm Saturday 30 January Sally Moss will talk about Rozanne Hawksley's work
Mission Gallery is pleased to host this Ruthin Craft Centre Exhibition, the first major solo retrospective exhibition by Rozanne Hawksley. Though she works predominantly in textiles and embroidery, there is nothing soft about the work of Rozanne Hawksley. Her extraordinary art covers the great themes of life - love and loss, war and suffering, isolation and the abuse of power by focusing in on intimate details of what they mean to a specific individual. Her installations combine poignant materials - a faded glove, a lily, a photograph or fragment of chiffon to make a powerful, reflective point. As the book by Mary Schoeser issued to accompany the exhibition details, this is an artist of major significance whose story is all the more remarkable for her only coming to national prominence twenty years ago when she was already in her fifties. Entitled 'Offerings', this exhibition is the first solo show devoted to Rozanne Hawksley. Dealing as it does with major themes that affect everyone, it will be an unparalleled chance to see the thought provoking, yet unnervingly beautiful work of this remarkable artist.
