Throughout her artistic career Bridget Macdonald has turned to poetry for source material and inspiration. This exhibition brings together a range of her drawings and paintings including early works such as the large charcoal drawings based on Sylvia Plath's Beekeeping poems and an 'imaginary' portrait of Ezra Pound in the pose of a Renaissance painting by Lorenzo Lotto; diversions via Keats, Shelley, the Dymock Poets and culminating in drawings inspired by Catherine Swire's recently published book of poems SOIL. A varied exhibition which looks at the network of connections between individual poets and their relationship with the landscape of their times.
