'Loss' by Amelia Klein and Oli Dickinson

Amelia Klein and Oli Dickinson present 'Loss', a sculptural duo show.

"Since meeting at uni, we always found our practices interlink as we make cathartic art to share with viewers our personal understandings of loss/ ambiguous loss. After suffering different yet similar forms of loss surrounding our father figures - our bond grew stronger as we navigated our grief side by side. We both share familial pain and try to exorcise it through creating tangible sculptures from intangible introspections.
