Visual artist Hugo Dalton contends that Mother Nature is a Dominatrix, not a benevolent figure, through an exhibition of sculptural installations and wall drawings based on frescoes at Pompeii. Dalton’s site-specific drawings at Crisis’ Bermondsey Project Space will use imagery associated with Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism to evoke humankind’s ancient, complex and increasingly fetishised relationship with Mother Nature—source of shelter, sustenance, pleasure and pain.

The Bermondsey Project was conceived last Summer as a new Creative hub for the Bermondsey area comprising 100 artists studios, an 8000 sq ft gallery space and supported studios and enterprises for Crisis’s ex homeless clients. This Spring will see further development to provide a Sculpture workshop, training and workshop spaces, a second Project Space and space for creative industries. The Bermondsey Project space is becoming an integral part of the the new cultural quarter here in Bermondsey that has seen so much gallery and studio development over the past months.
