See a major exhibition that explores the rich, three-decade career of British artist Jyll Bradley. Known for her large-scale public commissions, ‘Running and Returning’ also includes film, sculptural installations, photography, self-portraits and new works all seen together for the very first time.

Over the last 30 years Bradley’s work has examined notions of identity, urbanity, light, nature, queerness and community through a minimalist approach. Adopted as a child, finding her place has been central to her work. Minimalism has provided an opportunity to carve out a space often using light as a medium to convey metaphors and activate her work.

The Hop (pictured) is a vibrant interactive sculpture that connects urban landscapes with rural hop gardens and projects a spectrum of colours around Tavistock Place.

Inside St Luke's gallery, works are deeply personal, but the themes and narratives are universal. Works explore Bradley's adoption, explorations of identity and sense of self. Bradley’s ongoing interest in how light is utilised within agricultural architecture to nurture is another recurring theme that runs and returns throughout this exhibition.
