Press Release

STATION is delighted to present Clare Milledge’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, bramble-hound, heron-wound: two stone wolves.

The exhibition builds upon Milledge’s exploration of language conventions originating from the regions of her Scottish and Irish ancestors, with a particular emphasis on field-names, place-names, stories-in-the-landscape, and deeply ingrained knowledge systems that underscore ancestral and cultural connections with plants, animals, and the land.

About the Artist

Dr. Clare Milledge is an artist and academic who explores the artist-shaman archetype to con- nect with contemporary ecologies and existence. Employing enigmatic historical frameworks, she explores how magic and the occult can be used to re-evaluate Westernised connections to non- hu- man entities, including animals, nature, and language. Guided by intuition and grounded in field- work, Milledge gathers material from a diverse range of sources including conversations, poems, folklore, literature, the occult, political ecology, feminist theory, MMORPG chat rooms, Tinder profiles, and garden walks. These eclectic elements coalesce to form public assemblage, where her iconic hinterglasmalerei paintings serve as keystones. This technique, employed by Byzantine painters, entails the application of oil paint on the reverse side of glass.
