Hawthorne & Heaney for Laurence Weiner London Hand Embroidery

Conceptual Artist Laurence Weiner has an exhibition currently on at Surrey’s Bleinham Palace entitled; ‘Within a realm of Distance’. The exhibition explores the much favoured themes of Weiners work; simultaneity, intergration and inpiration of a parodoxical nature with ones environment. This is largely done through the subtle placement of small pieces within the palaces’ own architecture, with the eye being drawn to the curves of the archways and ceilings for example.

FOUND BY CHANCE AFTER ANY GIVEN TIME

FOUND WHERESOEVER IT IS AFTER ANY GIVEN TIME

FOUND DUE TO PROXIMITY AFTER ANY GIVEN TIME
