🫛 P o d | A visual and sonic exploration of seeds in nature and imagination 🫘 6 September - 31 October 2025 🧺 Halliwell's House Museum & Gallery
Should you be in Selkirk (Scottish Borders) during the next couple of months, do come pay a visit to our upcoming group exhibition ‘Pod’ at the Robson Gallery, Halliwell’s House Museum.
And join us for the opening this Saturday 6 September 2-4pm!
An exhibition exploring the natural and imaginative world of seeds, presenting works from four artists each captivated by traces, transience and macro worlds.
From the immaterial seed of an idea or transformations of windborne and waterborne life cycles to the physicality of the pod and pollination of seeds, Pod is a collection of work exploring seeds as both forms and processes sparking reflection around fertility, incubation, growth and sustainability – expressed through a range of visual and sonic approaches to materials.
Taking inspiration from the historic context and qualities of Halliwell’s House, materials of metal, sound, canvas, straw, stitch, plants, print and photography have been worked with on differing scales. Sculpted textiles, silver jewellery pieces, sonic diagrams, tableaux photographs and gatherings of plants inspired by patterns in nature all sit within an atmosphere of aeolian sounds, paying homage to seed as a universal symbol that resonates across life and cultures past and present.
