‘COMMENSALIS’
'Commensalis' is a group of artists from Wales, Scotland and England. We’re based in South Wales and we love sharing our art with the world, so we’re organising pop-up exhibitions wherever we can. We’ll be doing one in Bath from July the 8th to the 14th this year at the historic Walcot Mortuary Chapel.
Commensalis is Printmaker Kara Seaman, Collagist Melanie Ezra, Photographic artists Owen Martin and Rhys Jones and scribbler and printmaker Rose Davies. Local Bath sculptor and 'Maker' Jeni Wood will be a guest artist for this show.
The word ‘Commensalis’ comes from Medieval Latin and it reflects a commensal relationship, one organism using another for housing, or utilising something created after its death. We are inhabiting a chapel created for the departed. We are using this house of the dead to house our work. Our relationship towards each other is symbiotic.
We have special guest appearances from The Natural Theatre's Lady Margaret and Nick Steele, Wind-Up Merchant for this opening night. There also will be a wine demo by Raisin Wine of Walcot Street and Nibbles by Tu Mangetout.
The show continues daily 12 - 6pm until Sunday July 14th and each 'Commensalis' artist will be in residence and on hand during the week to share our artistic processes and techniques.
