About

Included in Gathering are a series of prints from the Hatton Gallery Archive, belonging to the late printmaker Gwyneth Alban Davis and generated by Heather Ross's 2017 collaborative project The Caravan Press: Making visible the Archive of Gwyneth Alban Davis. Previously Heather discussed these prints in conjunction with The Loud and the Soft Speakers - each explore different aspects of Kurt Schwitters' experience of being in exile in Britain (1940-48). 

Both Gathering and The Loud and the Soft Speakers are currently installed in the Hatton Gallery as part of the Exploding Collage season and relate to Heather's current practice-based PhD project which seeks to provide new sensorial insights into Kurt Schwitters' Merz Barn Wall (also situated within the Hatton Gallery).
