Jennifer Lewandowska presents Sensual Nature, an evolving exhibition and series of offerings celebrating the sensuality of the seasons through the medium of film, wild food, paintings and sound at Stockwell House, Bruton.
From 1 – 31 July, Lewandowska will create environments in the gallery and garden for the community to find rest and retreat. Working with hypnotic sounds, poetic moving image works and a new series of paintings and drawings, she will explore mysticism in the landscape and the healing energy of plants. She will host gatherings inspired by the elements; through conversation, walking, and shared sensory experiences. These events invite audiences to slow down, tune into the seasons and deepen their sensual connection with the natural world.
