In her first solo exhibition, ‘ALMANACK’ brings together a collection of original monotypes by British artist-printmaker, Rachel Snowdon.

With a long history founded in early modern forms of printmaking, illustration, and advertising, the almanac(k) is traditionally a vast anthology of often generic prognostications and helpful predictions for the year ahead. 

In ALMANACK, this concept is subverted and hyper-focused; Rachel's images become a self conscious attempt to tamper with the storyline of a centuries-old calendric tradition, and allow boundaries between the known and unknown, and authenticity and unreliability, to be smudged.

ALMANACK’s painterly monotypes offer glimpses into a ‘re-arranging of the year’ via the seasonal, recurrent narratives of half-remembered stories; confused landscapes; folk tales or songs; strange proverbs; and uncanny encounters from a nostalgic era that can’t quite be placed - but somehow we’ve all been there before.

• Join us to celebrate the opening of this new exhibition on Thurs 8th October, 6-8pm. Everyone is welcome! •
