Bridging the Gap is a show of sculpture that draws inspiration from its immediate environment, using the proximity of Southwark Bridge as a metaphor for connection in divided times. More than twenty artists explore themes of linkage, separation, and repair through innovative approaches to structure and materiality – several employing locally-sourced materials. Their works respond to the exhibition space and the surrounding urban cityscape, engaging with contrasts between sleekly soaring architecture and street-level experiences to reflect on how connections are formed, fractured, and rebuilt – both currently and historically, and at personal and communal levels.
