Gail Dickerson’s artistic practice is governed by her research into the feel of the earth beneath your feet by handling and processing the London Clay and core samples from Lambeth Group sediments – millions of years old –  recently excavated from local building sites – often with unexpected results that staddle the line between laboratory precision and action painting abandon.

BEACONSFIELD AND THE WILD ESCAPE
Beaconsfield is part of The Wild Escape, a major new project uniting hundreds of museums and galleries with schools and families to connect to the natural world in their local habitats. We will be working with local families and school children, ceramic artist Phoebe Collings-James and Rachael Nilssen of Mud Gang Pottery Studio, to contribute to re-wilding Kennington/Vauxhall while thinking about the role that earth or clay plays in our ecologies. These themes will be expanded in a public talk with Professor Kathryn Yusoff, author of A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None (2019).
