In The Weight of Being, the final section looks at how artists turn to landscape, not to escape, but to steady themselves.
Prunella Clough’s Disused Land (1999), painted in the year of her death following a cancer diagnosis, comes from her final ‘Land’ series. Travelling between London and the south coast, she was drawn to open ground, flat light, and the quiet presence of space.
Michael Sreenan’s You Look Like You is shaped by his recovery after a brain injury. Built from diary entries, it sits in that uncertain stretch where something has changed, but it’s hard to name. The work holds that disconnect. Looking the same, but not quite feeling it.
Both show how landscape can absorb you, even briefly. And in doing that, steady things.
