The first mother and daughter art exhibition at the RePUBlic Gallery, Blyth.

Local born glass artist Helen Grierson will be showing her most powerful and personal work alongside the rich and moving ceramic work of her daughter Almudena Rocca in “Pieces of Woman”, an exhibition that will really move all who see it. 

After watching the decline and death of her mother, Helen was inspired to produce a body of work around ageing and women. Helen says “I wanted, to reflect back to women how beautiful, wise, strong and resilient we are as we age. Western society highlights all the flaws to sell women creams, pills and fitness regimes. What I want to show is how powerful we are and to suggest we can make ageing aspirational”.

Almudena has created some exceptional clay work that tells the story of the intergenerational relationship’s women have with one another, themselves and nature.
