Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce the 24th edition of Artist of the Day, a vital West End exhibition programme selected by leading contemporary artists since 1983. The fast-paced, revolving two week exhibition schedule provides a platform for a selected group of artists, each presenting a one day solo exhibition at Flowers Gallery’s Mayfair location, with a programme of events taking place each day.

DAY THREE: Miriam Austin selected by Esther Teichmann. A one day exhibition will be held from 11am - 7pm at Flowers Gallery, Cork Street, London.

Join us from 12-2pm for an Artist Talk and Reading with Miriam Austin and Esther Teichmann. Please contact rsvp@flowersgallery.com to confirm your attendance.

My recent practice explores the relationship between ritual, myth, ecological fragility and embodiment. Drawing on research into feminist fiction, folklore, magical rites and rituals associated with the landscape, this body of work spans sculpture, installation, video and performance. Attempting to address the entanglement of privilege, oppression and representation that accompanies Western interest in “native” or “folk” religions and cultures, the work interrogates the possible links between local mythology, global inequality and ecological disaster.
